Unit 2 Study Guide:
Enzyme:
Enzymes are a type of________________ that ________________ reactions.
How would the reactions in the body change if enzymes were taken away?
What is activation energy?
How does an enzyme effect activation energy?
In the diagram above, which is the activation energy with and enzyme? (A or B)
Reaction A requires (more or Less) energy than reaction B?
How does “Lock and Key model” explain why enzymes are so specific?
List 4 factors that can effect the rate of a reaction.
Describe two types of inhibitors, how are they different?
Explain what this diagram above is showing.
r
