CELL ENERGY & ENZYMES CH. 5.10 - 5.16, CH. 6 & CH. 7 CELLS MUST CREATE AND/OR PROCESS ENERGY USING CHEMICAL REACTIONS. • ENZYMES: are catalyst proteins. • CATALYST: a substance that causes a chemical reaction to speed up. The substance is not changed or used up. WHAT ARE ENZYMES? • Most enzymes are proteins • Act as a catalyst to accelerate reactions • Not permanently changed in the process ENZYMES • Specific for what they catalyze • Are reusable • End in –ase “Lock and Key” HOW DO ENZYMES WORK? Enzymes work by weakening bonds, which lowers the activation energy. http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072495855/student_view0/chapter2/animation__how_enzymes_work.html ENZYMES Free Energy Free energy of activation Reactants Products Progress of the reaction THE ENZYME–SUBSTRATE COMPLEX The substance (reactant) that an enzyme acts on is the substrate. Substrate Joins Enzyme ACTIVE SITE A restricted region of an enzyme molecule which binds to the substrate. Active Site Substrate Enzyme WHAT AFFECTS ENZYME ACTIVITY? Three factors… 1.Environmental Conditions 2.Cofactors & Coenzymes 3.Enzyme Inhibitors ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS • Extreme temperature are the most dangerous - high temps may denature (unfold) the enzyme • pH (most “like” 6 - 8 pH, near neutral) • Ionic concentration (salt ions) COFACTORS & COENZYMES Inorganic substances (i.e.: zinc, iron) and vitamins are sometimes need for proper enzymatic activity. Example: Iron must be present in the quaternary structure of hemoglobin in order for it to pick up oxygen. 2 TYPES OF ENZYME INHIBITORS 1. Competitive inhibitors: are chemicals that resemble an enzyme’s normal substrate and compete with it for the active site. Substrate Competitive inhibitor Enzyme 2 TYPES OF ENZYME INHIBITORS 2. Non-competitive inhibitors: Inhibitors that do not enter the active site, but bind to another part of the enzyme causing the enzyme to change its shape, which in turn alters the active site. Substrate Enzyme active site altered Noncompetitive Inhibitor ENZYMATCH.COM • Understanding the importance of finding your perfect lock or key! • Enzymatch.com guarantees to speed up your match making experience! PURPOSE OF ENZYMES: • 1. Build small molecules into larger molecules (ex. synthesis of DNA) • 2. Break down large molecules into smaller molecules (ex. digestion of foods) • 3. To reduce the amount of ENERGY needed to perform the chemical reaction. Enzymes A Fun Introduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X TUm-75-PL4&feature=related ANABOLIC VS.

Apple juice companies use Cellulase & Pectinase to break down the cell wall and release juice. APPLE JUICE LAB • In this lab you will be researching which environmental factors will improve or interfere with juice production. • You will investigate the effect temperature. You will expose the enzyme to three levels of temperature. • After the enzyme has been treated, you should determine which condition lead to the greatest juice production. • CATALASE is an enzyme found in living things. Its job is to break down the poison hydrogen peroxide. 2 H 2O 2 • • • • Substrate(s)? Enzyme? Reactant (s)? Product(s)? catalase Hydrogen Peroxide Catalase Hydrogen Peroxide Water and Oxygen 2 H2 O + O 2 PART I: WHICH FOOD ITEM HAS THE MOST CATALASE? 1. Place three small pieces of each item on a plate: chalk, hamburger, liver, spinach & carrot. 2. Pour enough hydrogen peroxide to cover each food type. 3. Note the speeds of the reactions. The faster the reaction, the more vigorously the liquid bubbles. 4. List the food items in order from fastest reacting to slowest reacting. PART I QUESTIONS 1. Which food item contains the most enzyme (catalase)? 2. Which, if any, of the items did not produce a reaction? If a substance produced no reaction, explain why. 3. What two products does hydrogen peroxide change into when it breaks down? 4. Would catalase act on other chemicals other than hydrogen peroxide? Why or why not? CAN CATALASE TAKE THE HEAT? 1. Place three small pieces of raw liver and three small pieces of boiled liver on a plate. 2. Pour enough hydrogen peroxide to cover the plate. 3. Compare the speeds of the reactions. Based on this test, what assumption can you make about the effect of boiling catalase? DENATURATION OF ENZYMES • Objectives - Students will be able to: 1. Identify two variables that denature enzymes. 1. Model denaturation of an enzyme and describe how it affects reaction rates. TEMPERATURE • If temperature is too low, molecules move too slow and may never combine. • As temperature increases, enzymes could unfold permanently • OPTIMAL TEMPERATURE: a specific temperature at which an enzyme’s catalytic activity is at its greatest DO ALL ORGANISMS HAVE THE SAME OPTIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR THEIR ENZYMES? An enzyme found in Wild Alaskan Salmon An enzyme found in Bacteria An enzyme found in Humans THE SAME GOES FOR pH • pH: Each enzyme works within a small pH range. When an enzyme is NOT in its optimal pH environment the active site of the enzyme changes shape. • Acidic pH levels: 0 - 6 • Neutral pH level: 7 • Basic pH levels: 8 - 14 • OPTIMAL pH: a specific pH level at which an enzyme’s catalytic activity is at its greatest. pH SCALE Acidic Neutral Basic DO ALL ENZYMES IN AN ORGANISM HAVE THE SAME OPTIMUM PH? Amylase 7.4 pH Pepsin Trypsin 1 -2 pH 8 pH WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN ENZYME REACHES PAST IT’S OPTIMAL TEMPERATURE OR pH? DENATURATION (denature): The enzyme’s bonds and structure breaks down causing it to lose its shape. The active site is no longer functional. Denatured proteins will not go back to their original shape!! PENNY-ASE LAB • Model Denaturation of enzymes by completing the Penny-Ase Lab!!!

CELL ENERGY Photosynthesis Cell Respiration CELL ENERGY Photosynthesis Cell Respiration OVERVIEW 6 CO2 + 6 H20 C6H12O6 + 6 O2 STRUCTURE OF A LEAF • Photosynthesis: A process that only autotrophs perform. The process converts sunlight energy into chemical energy (glucose). Energy stored in the glucose can be transferred to other organisms when the molecules are consumed as food. • Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells? CHLOROPLAST ANATOMY OF A CHLOROPLAST IT’S A TWO PART PROCESS! • Process #1: Requires Light (Light Reactions) • Process #2: Does NOT require light (Dark Reactions) Misnomer: Dark reactions don’t require “dark.” They can take place independent of light. LIGHT REACTIONS chloroplasts individual cell Elodea leaf cells, 100 X HOW DOES THE CHLOROPLAST ABSORB SUNLIGHT ENERGY? • Pigments: Light absorbing molecules. Below are the most common pigments found in plants • Chlorophyll a (green) • Chlorophyll b (green) • Carotenoids (yellow, orange, red) Chlorophylls absorb most strongly in the violet-blue region of the visible spectrum and reflect light in the green region of the spectrum. This is why plant parts that contain chlorophyll appear green to the human eye. BECAUSE CHLOROPHYLL ABSORBS EVERYTHING BUT GREEN! GREEN is being reflected back to your eye. CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING! •Answer the following questions based on Thomas Engelmann’s photosynthesis experiment! THOMAS ENGELMANN’S EXPERIMENT What is a valid conclusion based on this graph? 1. O2 production decreases as the wavelength increases from 550 – 650 nm 2. Respiration rate in bacteria is greatest at 550 nm 3. Photosynthetic rate in the algae is greatest in blue light 4. The algae absorb the greatest amount of O2 in red light THOMAS ENGELMANN’S EXPERIMENT What is a valid conclusion based on this graph? 1. O2 production decreases as the wavelength increases from 550 – 650 nm 2. Respiration rate in bacteria is greatest at 550 nm 3. Photosynthetic rate in the algae is greatest in blue light 4. The algae absorb the greatest amount of O2 in red light THOMAS ENGELMANN’S EXPERIMENT Photosynthetic rate in the algae is greatest in blue light Evidence: 1. 2. 3. Animation of experiment WHY DO LEAVES APPEAR GREEN? These wavelengths are REFLECTED back to our eyes!!! WHY DO LEAVES APPEAR GREEN? In the fall, when Chlorophyll is no longer produced, the accessory pigments now become the dominant pigments, and those colors are reflected back to us too! WHY ARE LEAVES NEVER BLUE? Because chlorophyll absorbs blue light best and never reflects it back to our eyes!!!

WHAT ARE THE TWO MAIN PRODUCTS OF THE LIGHT REACTIONS (BOTH PHOTOSYSTEMS)? 1.) 2.) These are both sent to the Calvin Cycle (dark reactions/light independent reactions).
