the active site is the region on an enzyme where the substrate binds to form an enzyme-substrate complex
enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions
enzymes are specific because they have a unique shape that fits only one type of molecule, their active sites are complementary to the structure of the substrate
temperature affects enzyme activity because it changes the kinetic energy of the reacting particles which increases the rate of reaction but also causes denaturation of proteins
what is a catalyst
a substance which increases the rate of chemical reaction without being used up
how does a catalyst work
it provides an alternative pathway for the reaction with lower activation energy
what is an enzyme
an enzyme is a biological catalyst which speeds up the rate of chemical reactions without being used up
enzymes are proteins
