Enzymes and Chemical Equations
Cards in this deck (16)
- 1Chemical Reactionsprocess that changes one set of chemicals into another
- 2SubscriptNumber below a element, shows how many atoms are present
- 3CoefficientsNumber of molecules (exp. 8H2O is 8 molecules of h2O)
- 4Law of Conservation of Matter and Energyenergy and matter is neither created nor destroyed.
- 5Chemical Equationreactants, with the help of RXN, that produce products (exp. photosynthesis)
- 6Reactantsitems going into a reaction
- 7ProductsWhat comes out of a reaction
- 8RXN (reaction)Activation energy used to create a reaction
- 9Activation Energyneeded to start a chemical reaction, 'push' that's needed. (exp. sun for photosynthesis)
- 10Metabolismreactions are constantly occurring in the human body
- 11Catalystschemicals that speed up reactions by lowering activation energy
- 12Enzymesorganic catalysts that are complex proteins that speed up reactions and slow down activation energy (recall snowman) they can be used multiple times
- 13Protein rule with Enzymesenzyme's roles are described by their shape because they are a protein. Enzymes speed up reactions, they don't change reactions.
- 14Active SiteLike a keyhole, fits substrates into the enzyme
- 15Substratereplaces the reactant in reactions that have an enzyme involved.
