Enzymatic Proteins

Compound X increases the rate of the reaction below. X CO2 + H2O ------> H2CO3 Compound X is most likely

To what class of biological compounds do enzymes belong?

Enzymes act as [blank_start]____________________[blank_end] to speed up chemical reactions.

In this figure, the reactant(s) is/are represented by[blank_start]_________________________[blank_end].

In this figure, [blank_start]_________________________[blank_end] represents the product(s).

In this figure, the chemical reaction is a [blank_start]________________[blank_end] reaction.

Enzymes have active sites in which chemical reactions take place. The active sites are very shape specific to the substrate.

Look at the graph and choose a best word that explains what happened to the enzymes at pH 2 or 12.
