Enzyme Notes

Today we got into the notes about enzymes which will explain what happened during yesterdays inquiry lab.
 
Daily Questions were:

Then we started into the notes!

 

 

 

I used the example from yesterday with this - Catalase was the enzyme that broke down Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)  We saw yesterday how it was Reusable because after it went through one reaction of converting the H2O2 into water and oxygen, it was still available when we added even more H2O2 to the same liver.

Another example that some groups looked at yesterday was Lactose.  Lactose would be the SUBSTRATE and the enzyme that it binds with is called lactase

The place where the substrate binds to the enzyme is known as the active site.
