  1. CHEMICAL REACTIONS & ENZYMES CHAPTER 2 SECTION 4 SC-B-2.8-EXPLAIN THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE RATES OF BIOCHEMICAL REACTIONS (INCLUDING pH, TEMPERATURE, & THE ROLE OF ENZYMES AS CATALYSTS).

  2. WHY ARE ENZYMES IMPORTANT TO LIVING THINGS? ESSENTIAL QUESTION

  3. A chemical reaction is a process that changes one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals.

  4. Reactants Products • elements or cpds that enter into a chemical reaction • elements or cpds that are produced in a chemical reaction Chemical Reactions

  5. The chemical bonds of the reactants are broken & the chemical bonds of the products are formed. Chemical Reactions

  6. Some chemical reactions in living things are reversible. • example: Reversible Reactions

  7. Whenever chemical bonds are formed or broken energy is released or absorbed. • Chemical reactions that release energy often occur spontaneously. • Chemical reactions that absorb energy will not occur without a source of energy. ENERGY IN REACTIONS

  8. Exergonic reactions (release energy) in form of: • heat • light • sound

  9. In living organisms exergonic reactions often coupled with endergonic reactions

  10. is the energy necessary to get the reaction started • required whether reaction is exergonic or endergonic Activation Energy

  11. What does the Law of Conservation of Energy tell you?

  12. Exergonic Reaction Curve

  13. Endergonic Reaction Curve

  14. Enzymes are biological catalysts • very specific • substance(s) it reacts with called a substrate • speed up chemical reactions • lower activation energy • without enzymes chemical reactions would take so long to occur there would be no life. • name often tells you what it acts on • name ends in -ase Enzymes

  15. Effect of Enzyme on Reaction Curve

  16. Active Site: location on enzyme molecule where substrate fits in (like key into a lock) Enzymes: Active Site

  18. pH • enzymes in stomach work @ pH 2, stop working when get to small intestine where pH is higher • temperature • in humans: enzymes work best @ 37 ◦C • cell regulators • most enzymes not active 24/7 but have a “switch” cells use as needed Factors that Affect Enzyme Activity
