Enzyme Notes
Activation Energy:
What are the two factors that affect enzymes?
1.
2.
 Define Catalyst:
 Define Enzyme:
Substrates bind to
an enzyme at certain
places called active
sites.
The enzyme brings
substrates together and
weakens their bonds.
The catalyzed reaction forms
a product that is released
from the enzyme.
Which macromolecule can
enzymes be categorized with?
 What effect does an enzyme have on activation energy?
 Why does temperature affect enzymes so much?
Enzymes end in –ASE
(ex: lactase, polymerase, helicase, etc.)
