Grab warm up and complete
We will be putting this into your
journal
When you are done with your warm up look over your Vocab 1-1, you have a
quiz todaySlide3
Biomolecule review
Cellulose, a structural component of the cell wall of plants and some forms of algae, is mainly used to produce paper and cardboard products. Cellulose would be an example of which type of biomolecule
Nucleic acid
Lipid
Protein
CarbohydrateSlide4
Biomolecule review
Like complex carbohydrates, proteins are biomolecules that serve many functions and can be chemically broken down and restructured. Both proteins and complex carbohydrates are which of the following?
Polymers of smaller subunits
Sequences of sugars
Lipids of large molecules
Nucleotides of DNASlide5

Enzymes EQ: What is the role of enzymes in biological processes?Slide6
Secret message
Why do you think the slip of paper turned blue everywhere except for your secret message?Slide7
Cracker Lab
In
this experiment you will observe the action of the enzyme
amylase
on starch. Amylase breaks starch down into a simpler form: the sugar
maltose
, and has a bit of a sweet taste. Amylase is present in our saliva, and begins to act on the starch in our food while still in our mouth. This enzyme (with our teeth) is where food first starts to break down
.
Do you think that the cracker will start to taste different as amylase starts to act on it
?
Do you think that the cracker will start to dissolve without you chewing on it?Slide8
Enzyme reading and questions
Read the article on enzymes and answer the questions in your notebook
Do NOT write on
the handouts!Slide9
Paperclip activity
What is a paper clip’s function?
Is it related to it’s shape?
Take one of your paperclips and unbend it into a straight line
Can the paper clip still complete its function?
Enzymes work like a paperclip, the function depends on it’s shapeSlide10

What is an enzyme?
A very important protein!
It acts as a biological catalyst
All chemical reactions in your body require enzymesSlide12
What is a catalyst?
A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction
It is not consumedSlide13
What are the parts of an enzyme?
Active site – location on the enzyme where reaction occurs
Substrate – substance that an enzyme acts upon
Product – substance that is createdSlide14
What do enzymes do?
Enzymes speed up reactions
They do this by breaking down substratesSlide15
Why are enzymes important?
Most biological processes (ex: digestion) are catalyzed by enzymes
Without enzymes, many of these processes would not occur fast enough for an organism to maintain balanceSlide16
How do enzymes work?
Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy
Lock and key model
Substrate molecule fits into active site on enzyme
- “Enzyme – substrate complex”
Enzyme catalyzes a chemical reaction in the substrate
- Involves breaking or forming chemical bonds
Products are released
Enzyme is ready to bind to another substrate
E + S -> ES -> E + PSlide17
Lock and Key ModelSlide18
What is activation energy?
Activation energy – minimum energy needed to cause a chemical reaction to occur
In chemical reactions, energy is either released or absorbed
In order to get the chemical reaction started, it requires a certain amount of “Activation Energy”Slide19
Graph of energy of activationSlide20
Do enzymes need a specific environment to work?
YES
They are sensitive to pH and temperature
Heat and acidity will denature an enzyme
Change the enzyme’s shape so it is no longer functiona
lSlide21
How do we name enzymes?
They are named for the reaction they catalyze
End with –
ase
Ex:
Lipase – breaks down lipids
Protease – breaks down proteins
Amylase – breaks down starch or
amylu

On a clean sheet of paper answer the following questions in complete sentences.
Why are enzymes necessary for life?
What is the active site of an enzyme?
How do enzymes catalyze chemical reactions?
