Enzymes using BioMan Biology or Enzymatic App on iPad Go to the website Bioman Biology: The Fun Place to Learn Biology! and click on Life Chemistry and then Enzymatic or if using the iPad, click on the Enzymatic app 1. Use the information that you learn from the What are Enzymes option to answer the following: a. What are enzymes? Proteins that speed up or catalyze chemical reactions b. What is metabolism? The chemical reactions all living things must perform in order to survive. c. What are two types of reactions that occur in metabolism? Hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis 2. Use the option Specificity to help you answer the following questions: a. What is specificity? The specific shape of an enzyme b. What is an active site? Where the substrate goes on an enzyme to cause a reaction c. What are substrates? The thing that causes a chemical reaction when entering an active site d. What are products? What is made from the chemical reaction that occurs

3. Use the options Experiments and summarize the effects of the following on enzyme functions (you may want to draw graphs) a. Temperature The temperature at which the enzyme works best is called the optimal temperature. That is the temperature where the rate is the fastest.

b. pH If the pH is too low or too high the enzyme will be denatured and it won’t work anymore. Sometimes enzymes are able to regain their shape if the pH returns to an optimal level.

c. Substrate Concentration Higher substrate concentration means more substrate is available for the enzyme to act on. Lower substrate concentration means there is less substrate available.
