Resource summary

ENZYMES
  1. CATALYSTS
    1. A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction and is not changed by the reaction.
    2. ENZYMES
      1. Proteins that function as biological catalysts
        1. Key words: Active sight, enzyme and substance
        2. Effect of temperature and Ph on enzyme activity
          1. Higher the temperature, faster the reaction
            1. Ph should be acidic to work best.
            2. LOCK AND KEY
              1. When the enzyme is carefully structured to insure that it perfectly fits the substance into it and then breaks it into two or just breaks it down
              2. WHY ARE ENZYMES USEFUL?
                1. Baby Food (to break it down so it is easier)
                  1. Fructose is used instead of glucose in slimming foods, more sweet there for less is needed because they have the same amount of characters
                    1. Washing powder
