?
Enzyme
A biological catalyst which speed up reactions.
1 of 14
Substrate
They collide with enzymes to start the reaction
2 of 14
Lock and key theory
If a substarte fits perfectly into an Enzyme's active site a reaction will take place
3 of 14
A biological product
What is made after the biological reaction
4 of 14
What are enzymes made of?
Protein
5 of 14
What is the optimum temperature for an enzyme?
Body temperature (37°C)
6 of 14
If an enzyme is too hot it will...
Denature, the substrates will not fit in the active site. A reaction will not take place.
