Enzymes are named after the substrate they react with - replacing the "ose" with "ase". This is the enzyme that breaks down Lactose.
What is Lactase?
100
The energy needed to start a reaction is called this.
What is activation energy?
100
Enzymes _________ reactions in the cells.
What is speed up?
100

This is the term that describes the chemical process by which nutrients are broken down and converted into energy or are used in the construction of new tissue or other material in the body.


What is metabolism?

True or False: Identical twins don’t have the same fingerprints.

What is True.

You can’t blame your crimes on your twin, after all. This is because environmental factors during development in the womb (umbilical cord length, position in the womb, and the rate of finger growth) impact your fingerprint.

True or False: Enzymes are used up during their reaction.
What is False? Enzymes do not get used up. They are free to react again and again. This is why they are only need in the body in small amounts.
200
True or False: All reactions require the same amount of ENERGY to get started.
What is false?
200
Enzymes are this type of macromolecule.
What is proteins?
200
This is what the Enzyme acts upon.
What is a substrate?

True or False. Football teams wearing red kits play better.

What is True.

The color of your clothes can affect how you’re perceived by others and change how you feel. A review of football matches in the last 55 years, for example, showed that teams wearing a red kit consistently played better in home matches.

Explain what is meant by "Enzymes are substrate specific"
What is they only react with certain substrates that fit into the active site. Think Lock and Key!
300
This protein will reduce the activation energy.
What is an enzyme?
300
Enzymes lowers activation energy & speeds something up. Another word for this is a ____________.
What is catalyst?
300
Where the specific substrate fits in the enzyme.
What is an active site?
300

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of _____ ______.

What is the fear of long words?

Describe the Lock and Key hypothesis using the terms substrate and enzyme. Which is the lock, which is the key?
What is Enzymes only react with certain substrates that match their shape correctly. Enzymes are the lock, substrates are the key.
400
An enzyme will ____________ the amount of activation energy required.
What is reduce?
400
Enzymes are substrate specific, this means?
What is Enzymes only react with specific substrates that fit into the active site (Lock and key)
400
The “new” substance created during reaction.
What is a product?
400

This is known as the happiest country on Earth.

What is Finland?

500
Describe the differences between a synthesis reaction and a hydrolysis reaction.
What is: synthesis is a building up reaction (2 substrates join into one) hydrolysis is a breaking down reaction involving water (1 substrate breaks into two)
500
Activation energy is the energy needed to start a ________.
What is reaction?
500
True or false: For each reaction, there is a specific enzyme.
What is true?
500
After the reaction, the enzyme is _________.
What is reusable?
