Worksheet 15-ENZYMES
1)a substance that speeds up the chemical reaction enzymes is biological catalysts.
2)is the amount of energy to make the reactions happen minimum required.
The key difference between coenzyme and cofactor is that the coenzymes are organic
molecules, whereas the cofactors can be either organic or inorganic molecules.
3. Many factors can affect the rate of enzyme action. Explain each factor listed here
available, the more frequently they access the active sites of the enzyme molecules
At high temperatures, most of the enzymes change their shape and become non-functional. It
is irascible.
a. Reactions that involve breaking big molecules into smaller molecules release energy and
are called ________catabolic__________________
b. Reactions that involve making bigger molecules out of smaller ones molecules use up
energy and are called ______anobolic________________
c. The main source of energy for all life is the ____the sun_________________
d. Reactions are controlled by the presence or absence of particular
_____enzyme_____________.
e. Enzymes are biological ___catalyzs___________ made by all living cells.

8. An experiment was carried out to investigate the action of the enzyme catalase from liver
cells. Three test tubes were set up as shown under same and optimum environmental
factors:
The comparison of the reaction rate was found to be III > II > I.
State which factor (substrate concentration, enzyme concentration and surface of the
substrate) had an effect over reaction rate and explain how it affected.
9. Water, Oil X, and an enzyme that breaks down oil X are put in a test tube.
I. Fatty acids
II. Amino acids
III. Glycerol
IV. Glucose
V. Enzyme that breaks down oil X
After a while, which of the above compounds are found in the test tube?
