An enzyme is a protein that lowers the activation energy and speeds up the chemical rxn BR for 10/30 on pg. 49 • Either write the question and answer or answer in complete sentences with the question referred in your answer. • 1. What is an enzyme? • 2. Does an enzyme change after a chemical reaction? • 3. Can an enzyme catalyze (speed up) any reaction? Explain. • 4. How does an enzyme speed up a chemical reaction? • 5. What are four things that can affect enzymes? How? No an enzyme does not change after a chemical rxn No, it speeds up a specific rxn due to enzyme specificity It lowers the activation energy required for the reaction Substrate Concentration, Enzyme concentration, pH, and temperature. They can all affect the enzyme by lowering the enzymes efficiency
