Unit 2 Jeopardy

General Enzyme Knowledge

2

2 things that can affect the shape of an enzyme are

pH and Temp

4

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.

6

Activation Energy is the energy required to start a chemical reaction.  Do enzymes increase or decrease activation energy needed?

What is decrease

8

Catabolic enzyme reactions ________.

What is break down complex macromolecules

10

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!

Macromolecules

2

The building blocks of proteins are called..

What are amino acids

4

What elements are in an Amino Acid?

What is C, H, O and N?

6

Lipids have long chains of this element.  It's the most abundant element in organic and inorganic compounds

What is carbon?

8

This macromoleule has a ring like structure

What is glucose/carbohydrates?

10

McMush Lab showed that all 4 macromolecules were present in the McDouble. What part (ingredient) of the McDouble would you find each of the macromolecules?

Starch in the bread. 

Protein in the patty.

Lipids in the cheese. 

Carbs in the bread.

Enzymes

2

Enzymes _________ reactions in the cells.

What is speed up?

4

Enzymes are this type of macromolecule.

What is proteins?

6

Enzymes are substrate specific, this means?

What is Enzymes only react with specific substrates that fit into the active site (Lock and key)

8

Enzymes lowers activation energy & speeds something up. Another word for this is a ____________.

What is catalyst?

10

True or false: For each reaction, there is a specific enzyme.

What is true?

Enzyme-Substrate Complex

2

This is the term used to describe the interaction involving the substrate and enzyme. The entire process.

What is an enzyme-substrate complex?

4

This is what the Enzyme acts upon.

What is a substrate?

6

The “new” substance created during reaction.

What is a product?

8

Where the specific substrate fits in the enzyme.

What is an active site?

10

After the reaction, the enzyme is _________.

What is reusable?

Water

2

This bond connects 2 water molecules together

What is hydrogen bond?

4

This bond connects the oxygen atom to the hydrogen atom in a water molecule

What is covalent bond?

6

Water striders and some other insects can stand on the surface of water because of this property of water.

cohesive and adhesive (high surface tension)

8

This special property of water that allows water to travel from roots to leaves.

Capillary action

10

Why is water polar? Be specific!

There is an unequal sharing of electrons between the atoms and unsymmetrical shape of the molecule.The oxygen has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen has a partial positive charge with water having a bent shape.
