Wake-up
1. Which macromolecule functions in short term energy and structure?
1. Explain the difference between Benedict’s and Biuret’s.
Chemical Reaction
Occurs when bonds are broken or formed to create a new substance
Reactants Products
What is a Catalyst?
Catalysts speed up chemical reactions
Ex: What do you do to help sugar dissolve faster in tea?
What is Lactose Intolerance?Lactase is not
present to break down the lactose.
The sugar just builds up
inside.
Wake-up
1. Identify A, B, C, D, and E using the following terms: product, enzyme, substrate, enzyme-substrate complex
1. Explain a Biological Catalyst.
Environmental Effects on Enzymes
1. Temperature* • High
Temperatures can denature enzymes
• Denature means lose shape (active site).
Environmental Effects on Enzymes
1. Temperature • Low
Temperatures cause enzymes to move slowly
• Decreasing
enzyme activity
Environmental Effects on Enzymes
1. pH • Dramatic
changes in the pH of a solution can denature an enzyme
• Decreasing
enzyme activity
