What do enzymes do to reactions?
What is the definition of a catalyst?
1-speed them up (catalayse)
2- a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of reaction without being used up in the process
1 of 48
What are the two parts of an enzyme
the active site and the substrate
2 of 48
Enzymes are what?
specific
3 of 48
This means that the substrate must do what?
fit perfectly into the active site
4 of 48
This is known as the what theory?
lock and key theory
5 of 48
What are the three digestive enzymes?
amylase (carbohydrase)
protease
lipase
6 of 48
Proteins are broken down by?
protease
7 of 48
What three places of the body are protease found in?
stomach
pancreas
small intestine
8 of 48
Proteins are long____?
chains
9 of 48
Of?
amino acids
10 of 48
When we digest protein, the protease enzyme does converts the _____ back into individual ____ _____?
converts the proteins back into individual amino acids
11 of 48
These are then absorbed into?
bloodstream
12 of 48
Those amino acids are then absorbed into what?
the body cells
13 of 48
And are joined together in a _______ order?
different order
14 of 48
to make?
human proteins
15 of 48
Starch is a chain of _______ molecules?
glucose molecules
16 of 48
Carbohydrates are broken down by what enzyme?
carbohydrases
17 of 48
In this case, starch is broken down by what enzyme?
the enzyme amylase
18 of 48
When carbohydrates like e.g.?
starch
19 of 48
are digested we produce what?
simple sugars
20 of 48
Carbohydrases are found where? (2)
saliva
pancreatic fluids
21 of 48
A lipid molecule consists of a molecule of g_______?
glycerol
22 of 48
attached to 3 molecules of what ______ acids?
fatty acid
23 of 48
Lipids are broken down by the enzyme what?
lipase
24 of 48
These are found where (2)?
pancreatic fluid
small intestine
25 of 48
Where is bile made?
in the liver
26 of 48
Where is it stored?
gall bladder
27 of 48
Bile helps speed up?
digestion
28 of 48
But is not a what ?
an enzyme
29 of 48
Bile breaks down a large lipid into?
smaller lipids
30 of 48
Bile_______lipid?
emulsifies
31 of 48
This increases the what of the lipid?
surface area
32 of 48
Of the ?
lipid
33 of 48
Bile is also what?
alkaline
34 of 48
This allows it to do what to stomach acid?
neutralise it
35 of 48
This creates alkaline conditions in the?
the small intestine
36 of 48
This also increases the rate of?
digestion
37 of 48
As we increase the temperature, the activity of the enzyme will?
also increase
38 of 48
At a certain point the enzyme will reach its what?
optimum temperature
39 of 48
This is where the enzyme is working at the _____ possible rate?
fastest
40 of 48
However if we continue to increase the temp what will happen to the activity of the enzyme?
it will decrease
41 of 48
This is because the active site will have ______ shape?
changed
42 of 48
This means that the enzyme has?
denatured
43 of 48
Enzymes also have an optimum?
pH
44 of 48
If the pH of the enzyme is too ____ or ____ it will also _____?
too acidic or alkaline it will also denature
45 of 48
For example what is the enzyme that digests proteins in the stomach?
pepsin
46 of 48
What is the pH level that pepsin usually works at?
pH 2
47 of 48
If any high or lower it will?
denature
