PPT-Enzymes Biochemical reactions require the participation of biological catalysts (biocatalysts),

enzymes The substance converted by an enzyme is called a substrate and a substance resulting from the conversion of the substrate is called the product The enzyme is not consumed during the reaction catalyzed by it so one enzyme molecule is involved in the conversion of many substrate molecules . 1 Immobilised biocatalystsDefinition:Immobilised biocatalysts are biocatalysts which are physically confined or localised in a certain defined space with retention of their catalytic activities, and w Chapter 2: Section 2.5. 1.

Thus, K. M. is the substrate concentration that yields. Baseline (Flightpath D): To be able to define the terms ‘catalyst’ and ‘enzyme. ’.. Further (Flightpath C&B ): To be able to describe the properties of enzymes. To use the lock and key theory and collision theory to explain enzyme action. CATALYSTS AND ENZYMES. What are catalysts?. Simply put, catalysts are substances which, when added to a reaction, increase the rate of reaction by providing an alternate reaction pathway with a lower activation energy (Ea).. Are specific for . what they . catalyze . and do not permanently change during reactions. End in the word -. ase. Function of Enzymes. Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy (the amount of energy needed to start a reaction). . 1. What are enzymes?. Each enzyme has only one specific reaction it can perform. . 2. How many different reactions can a single enzyme perform?. Yes, the same enzyme molecule can be used over and over. THINK ABOUT IT . Living things are made up of chemical compounds, but chemistry isn’t just what life is made . of—chemistry is also what life does. . . Everything that happens in an organism. —its growth, its interaction with the environment, its reproduction, and even its movement.
