| What are enzymes and what do they do? | They are a protein that functions as a biological catalyst, which speeds up a chemical reaction. |
| What is the lock and key model? | Where the shape of the active site of the enzyme matches the shape of its substrate molecules. |
| What causes enzymes to denature? | High temperatures or extremes of pH levels |
| What happens when an enzyme denatures? | The shape of it changes, meaning it can no longer work. |
| What is the optimum temperature for an enzyme and why? | Roughly 37-40 degrees for humans, as if it is too cold there are fewer collisions between enzymes and substrates, and if it is too hot the enzyme will denature |
| What enzyme breaks down starch, and to what? | Amylase breaks it down into maltose |
| What enzyme breaks maltose down, and to what? | Maltase breaks it down into glucose |
| Which enzymes breaks proteins down, and to what? | Pepsin and trypsin (Proteases) breaks it down into amino acids |
