Identifying reactants vs products
In the equation A + B → C, identify the products/reactants
Products: C
Reactants: A + B
This molecule is the substrate that catalase breaks down
What is Hydrogen Peroxide
This term describes the conditions in which an enzyme works best
What is Optimal Conditions
This reaction builds complicated molecules from simple molecules
What is Anabolic reaction
During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are used to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. Identify the products/reactants
Products: Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP
Reactants: Glucose and Oxygen
Catalase converts hydrogen peroxide into these two products
What is Water & Oxygen
Enzyme activity decreasing dramatically or stopping is a result of what process?
What is Denaturation
This reaction breaks down complex molecules into simpler molecules
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O - If you double the amount of reactants, how will the amount of products change?
The products will also double
What is the optimal pH range where catalase works best
What is 7 pH
Denaturation causes a protein to lose its what?
Digestion is an example of which reaction?
What is A catabolic reaction
In glycolysis, the reaction can be summarized as: C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 C₃H₄O₃ + 2 ATP + 2 NADH. Identify the products/reactants
Products: 2 C₃H₄O₃ + 2 ATP + 2 NADH
Reactants: C₆H₁₂O₆
Catalase speeds up the reaction by lowering this, making the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide much faster
What is Activation Energy
During denaturation, what causes a protein to lose its shape?
What is Change in heat or pH
Catabolic reactions generally release what?
What is Energy
The overall equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂, If a plant has plenty of CO₂ but no water, which products will be limited and why?
Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂) will be limited (because water is a reactant that provides electrons for the light-dependent reactions.)
When hydrogen peroxide levels rise in cells, catalase prevents this harmful cellular effect caused by reactive oxygen species
What is Oxidation Damage
True or False: Is denaturation the same as digestion?
What is False (Denaturization UNFOLDS a protein's amino acid chains, while digestion is a biochemical process BREAKING down the amino acid chain)
The breakdown of glucose into two pyruvate molecules through glycolysis is an example of this reaction…
