What can speed up a reaction or lower the activation energy of a reaction and can digest things?
This would be an enzyme.
What four things effect the rate of an enzyme reaction?
Catalysis Nature of. Reactant Temperature Concentration
What term refers to protein that speed up chemical reaction in living things?
Enzyme
What things might slow down or speed up and enzyme reaction?
The temperature in addition to the pH sacle of something in particular in the environment would affect the rate of speed of an enzyme and would slow down the reaction if it is too high.
What things can be done to change how fast a chemical reaction occurs?
You can add a catalyst, or raise the temperature, or change the pressure, these are some of the things done to speed up a chemical reaction.
What is the reaction called when living things adjust to a change in their environment?
Adaptation.
What is the purpose of a enzyme in a biochemical reaction?
To break down compounds into smaller things. We have enzymes in our body that help break down food when it is being digested.
What 2 things will change the shape of an enzyme and therefore stop an enzyme from working?
1. Some solvents 2. Temperature changes (when exposed to high temperatures, the protein will denature, rendering it inactive)
Living things adjust to a change in their surroundings immediately by a reaction called?
Living things adjust to a change in their surroundings immediately by a reaction called homeostasis. Claude Bernard, a French physiologist, came up with the idea of homeostasis in 1865.
Why are balancing things like temperature and acidity so important to living things?
Enzymes are protiens. If you get the balance of pH or temperature outof wack, you can change the shape of the enzyme. Changing the shape of the said enzyme damages the protein, so it cannot do its job. This is called denaturing.
How a reaction takes place without an enzyme and then with an enzyme?
Very high activation energy is needed in enzymelss reactions
What are 3 things that show evidence of a chemical reaction?
- change of color - change of odor - release of a gas - change of the temperature - change of the viscosity - formation of a precipitate - change of general appearance - possible explosion - possible chemiluminiscence - formation of new compounds
