enzymes

    • Enzyme-substrate complex is formed when the substrate binds to an active site on the enzyme.
    • The enzyme catalyzes the reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, resulting in faster rates of reaction.
    • Once the product has been released from the enzyme, it can be used or further processed by other reactions.
    • The enzyme catalyzes the reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, resulting in a faster rate of reaction.
    • Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions without being consumed themselves.
    • After the product has been released from the enzyme, it can be used or further processed.
    • Enzymes have specific shapes called active sites where they interact with their target molecules (substrates).
    • Enzymes have specific shapes and structures that allow them to interact with particular molecules called substrates.
    • Active sites are complementary in shape to the substrate, allowing them to fit together like a lock and key.
