- Enzymes
- A protein tht functions as a biological catalyst
- catalyst is something that speeds up a reaction
- active site- the location where the substrate fits into the enzyme to react
- Factors that affect enzymes
- temperatures
- too low= work slowly too high = denatured
- If the enzymes are expose to high temperatures mostly above 50, the shape of the active site changes and the substrate won't fit in, the enzyme is said to become denatures
- too low= work slowly too high = denatured
- pH
- most enzymes work at PH7, pepsin works at pH 2
- If the PH is low, then the enzyme stops working and starts back when the pH is back to normal
- most enzymes work at PH7, pepsin works at pH 2
- temperatures
- A protein tht functions as a biological catalyst
