  1. enzymes

  2. www.biology.comChapter 5.5Enzymes in Real Life “Cat”alyze = action of an enzyme

  3. Enzymes are proteins that lower the amount of activation energy

  4. Activation Energy=energy needed to start a chemical reactionBlue Line=NO ENZYMERed Line= ENZYME

  5. Active Site Folds in an enzyme where the substrate fits Substrate Molecule that uses an enzyme

  6. An enzyme does one of two things: 1. Breaks the substrate apart (releasing energy) 2. Puts two substrates together (absorbing energy) Cells contain thousands of different kinds of enzymes. Not all cells contain the same enzymes.

  7. Chemical Reactions The breaking down or building up of substances Example of a chemical reaction Reactant(s) Peroxidase Product(s) H2O2 H20 + O2 (hydrogen peroxide) (Water, Oxygen gas) Reactants react, products are produced The arrow is like an equals sign Peroxidase is the ENZYME

  8. 3 Things can affect how enzymes work. • Temperature • Biology.com 5.5 page 2 • 2. pH (acidic or basic) • 3. Concentration (how many enzymes are working • ex. Cubed vs. Ground up Liver)

  9. Denature Enzymes don’t “die”, they just become unusable

  10. How Beano Works: Complex indigestible sugars found in many plant products such as beans, cabbage, broccoli, onions, soy products, and others can ferment in your digestive system releasing gas in the form of flatulence. The enzyme in Bean-zyme breaks these sugars down into less complex sugars that the human body can digest, thus reducing or eliminating the intestinal gas formed. The enzyme is made from a safe food grade mold.

  11. Exploding Liver How did you rate each of these?
