Do you know????
Enzymes are needed in life processes.
Why
Enzymes regulate the speed of many chemical reactions that are involved in the metabolism of living organisms.
Metabolism consists of: 1. Anabolism - synthesis of new substances that are necessary for life. 2. Catabolism - breaking down of substances to produce energy for work.
6. Enzyme function is affected by inhibitors. 7. Some enzymes require cofactors to function. 8. The functions of enzymes are affected by changes in temperature and pH.
Naming of enzymes
An enzyme is named according to the name of the substrate it catalyses. Add the suffix ase at the end of the name of their substrates. For example:
Substrate Lactose Sucrose Enzyme Lactase Sucrase
Lipid
Lipase
Why?
Because enzymes are proteins.
How?
Information (synthesis of enzymes) carried by DNA different sequence of bases in DNA are codes to makes different proteins form specific enzymes.
2. Extracellular enzymes - Enzymes which are synthesised in the cell but secreted from the cell to work externally. - eg: digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas transported to duodenum
