1. It is not used up and does not change shape in a reaction.

2. It is used to speed up a reaction

3. Will only bind to another molecule as long as the enzyme substrate complex can form(see lock and key theory)

What are the three factors that impact enzyme function?

The three factors that impact enzyme function are temperature, pH level, and substrate concentration.


What 3 letters in the enzyme's name tells that it is an enzyme?

The suffix -ase indicates an enzyme, e.g. proteinase, dehydrogenase, hydrogenase, polymerase.


What is the term for an enzyme's shape when change so it can no longer work?

The term for an enzyme's shape changing so it can no longer work is denaturation. This can be caused by factors such as high temperature, extreme pH, or exposure to certain chemicals. Once denatured, the enzyme loses its specific shape and can no longer function properly.


What is the three-dimensional part of an enzyme molecule where the reaction takes place?

The active site of an enzyme is the three-dimensional part of the enzyme molecule where the catalytic reaction takes place. It is a specific region that binds to the substrate and facilitates the chemical reaction to occur. The active site provides a suitable environment for the reaction to proceed efficiently.


What are three that ways to control enzymes?

Temperature: Enzyme activity can be controlled by adjusting the temperature, as most enzymes have an optimal temperature at which they function best. pH: Enzyme activity is also influenced by the pH of the environment, and maintaining an appropriate pH level can help regulate enzyme function. Inhibitors: Enzyme activity can be inhibited by specific molecules that bind to the enzyme and prevent it from carrying out its catalytic function. This can be used as a way to control enzyme activity in biological systems.
