, Objectives
Lesson objective:
Full review of enzymes
Success criteria:
- Explain how enzymes work
- Describe and explain the factors that affect enzyme activity
- Use Vmax and Km to compare the affinity of different enzymes for
their substrates
- Explain how reversible inhibitors affect the rate of enzyme activity
- Carry out experiments with enzymes under controlled conditions
- Explain the advantages of using immobilised enzymes
, Theory: Explain how enzymes work
A protein molecules which can be defined as biological
catalysts.
- speeds up a chemical reaction
- remains unchanged at the end of the reaction
Intracellular = works / operates within cells
Extracellular = e secreted by cells and catalyse reactions
outside cells
