Enzymes 
Catalysts produced by living things
View source
Enzymes 
Reactions need to be carefully controlled
Reduce the need for high temperature
Speed up useful reactions
View source
Active site 
Special shape that allows enzymes to catalyse reactions
View source
Enzymes 
Every enzyme has a specific active site
They will only catalyse one specific reaction
If the substrate doesn't match the active site, the reaction won't be catalysed
View source
Enzyme catalysis 
Use the right temperature and pH
View source
Changing the temperature 
Changes the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction
View source
Enzymes 
Have optimum temperatures and pH
If temperature gets too high, bonds break and enzyme is denatured
If pH is too high or low, it interferes with bonds and changes the shape of the active site, enzyme is denatured
