## How enzymes work: 1. Enzymes have a pocket on their surface called an **active site.** 2. The molecule that fits in to the active site is called the **substrate.** 3. The **reaction** takes place at the active site. 4. The **products** of the reactions are released. ## Label the substrate,...

## How enzymes work: 1. Enzymes have a pocket on their surface called an **active site.** 2. The molecule that fits in to the active site is called the **substrate.** 3. The **reaction** takes place at the active site. 4. The **products** of the reactions are released. ## Label the substrate, enzyme, active site, and products in the following diagram. * The diagram depicts an enzyme interacting with a substrate, then releasing a product. ## Enzyme Activity can be affected by 3 things indicate if it causes the enzyme to become denatured) * Temperature * pH levels ## 1. How are polymers and monomers different? Provide an example of each. Enzyme will lose shape (**denature**) after being exposed to extremely high heat. * Monomer is a single piece, while polymer is made of monomers put together. ## 2. Which organic compounds are sources of energy to organisms? * Protein, carbohydrate, and lipids ## 3. What differentiates one protein from another? * Their shape ## 4. What type of organic compound is hemoglobin? What is its function? * A protein to carry oxygen. ## 5. Create an analogy for the enzyme/substrate relationship. * Lock and key. ## 6. What are the effects of denaturation? * Changing of the shape. ## 1. What is the difference between organic and inorganic compounds? * Organic compounds are going to have carbon and one is abiotic. * Inorganic compounds does not.
