Definition
A biological Catalyst
A model of how enzymes work and the importance of their shape
A substance that changes the rate of a reaction without being used up
The energy needed to start a chemical reaction
The molecule that binds to and reacts with the enzyme
The state of an enzyme when it has been irreversibly damaged and has
changed shape
The pH at which an enzyme-catalysed reaction proceeds at the fastest rate
An enzyme that hydrolyses (digests) starch (amylose) into glucose.
Amylase is secreted by salivary glands and by the pancreas.
enzyme concentration; substrate concentration; temperatures (higher the
better to a point- too high= denaturation) ;pH
protein that digests sugar lactose found in milk
Pancreatic enzyme necessary to digest fats
The temperature at which the enzyme's
activity is at its GREATEST. The optimal temperature of the enzyme on the
graph is 50 degrees C.
Enzyme that breaks down proteins in the stomach
structure on the enzyme where it binds to a substrate
The sum of the chemical reactions that occur in a cell
Process of breaking down complex materials (foods) to form simpler
substances and release energy
Anabolism
Process of building up complex materials (proteins) from simple materials
Buffer
substance that maintains a fairly constant pH in a solution
Hydrogen Peroxide Substrate used in enzyme experiments
Immobilised
When enzymes are 'fixed' to small resin beads they are said to be ...?

Chemical used to immobilise enzymes
Catalase
Enzyme found in most plant and animal cells that decomposes hydrogen
peroxide
