100
This is the area in the enzyme called where the substrates fit in.
What is the active site?
100

The monomers of enzymes

Amino acids

100

Which is greater: the reaction rate at room temperature or 100ºs? Why? 

100º because molecules are moving faster so the substrates collide with enzyme more frequently. 

100

Enzyme that breaks down milk? 

Lactase. 
200

The bond that links amino acids together

Peptide bond 

200
The unfolding or unraveling of a protein.
What is denaturation?
200

How did cold conditions affect the enzyme's ability to break down hydrogen peroxide into oxygen gas? 

It did so slowly but still converted the same amount over time.

Sports team Mr. D's dogs were named for growing up: 
Chicago Cubs (Cubby and Wrigley)
300

Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering this.

What is the activation energy?

300

List 3 factors that can influence enzyme activity

Temperature, pH, concentration 

300

On a graph showing enzymatic activity (y axis) and pH on x axis, where would you expect to see a peak in the activity for pepsin which lives in your stomach? 

at low pH (around 2) 

300

Products of breakdown of hydrogen peroxide? 

Water and oxygen gas

400
What is the name for the 3D folding structure of the protein? 

Tertiary Structure

400
This is the molecule upon which an enzyme acts on.
What is a substrate?
400

Why do graphs showing enzyme activity reach a plateau over time? 

After a certain amount of time there is no more active sites available OR no more substrate available.
