Vocabulary

  • Catabolism = break apart
  • Anabolism = put together
  • Metabolism = Essential Chemistry

Vocabulary

  • Substrate = chemical binding to enzyme
  • Active Site = Enzyme's work-place
  • Specificity = particular shape of active site
  • Catalyst =  speeds up reactions

All Enzymes are proteins

All Enzymes are Catalysts

Enzymes

  • break down large molecules
  • Catabolism
  • Ex: Starch into glucose
