chemical reaction.
Product
• The elements or compounds produced by a
chemical reaction.
Activation Energy
• The energy needed to start a chemical

Enzyme
• A protein that acts as a biological catalysts.
Enzyme Analogy
$400
10$/ hr.
$ Breakdown
• 10$/ hr. X 4 = $ 40
• Working only Saturday’s
– $40 X 10 = $400
– You can buy the system in DE
But….
So…. $ Breakdown
• 20% of $400 = $80
• Which means the PS4 will cost only $320!!
And you only need to work for 8
weeks!!
Unfortunately…
So what can cause harm…
• Change in pH (because soap is basic)
• Change in temperature (because the dryer
gets pretty hot)
Just like an enzyme…
Substrate
• The compound that an enzyme changes
during a chemical reaction.
