|
|
Term
| What do breaker enzymes do? |
|
Definition
| They speed up the reaction of breaking large molecules into smaller ones. |
|
|
Term
| What do builder enzymes do? |
|
Definition
| They speed up the reaction of joining small molecules together to make large ones. |
|
|
Term

Term
|
Definition
| The special shape of an enzyme where the made for the substrate to fit in. |
|
|
Term

|
Term
| Whis enzymes can break down crabohytdrates, which proteins, and which fats? |
|
Definition
| Carbohydrase, Proteases, and Lipases |
|
|
Term
| What happens when an enzyme is denatured? |
|
Definition
| The special shape of the active site breaks down, so the substrate no longer fits. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It shows the change of the reaction rate depending on the substrate's concentration. From 0 to 2000 the substrate is a limiting factor. From 2000 and on the concentration is not a limiting factor, so the rate is constant. |
