Chemical Reactions and Enzymes Chemical Reaction: a process that changes one set of chemical changes into another Some occur very slowly: iron + oxygen= iron oxide (rust) Reactants products… Iron + oxygen iron oxide Always involve changes in the chemical bonds that join atoms in compounds In your own body!! Involves carbon dioxide…. Sources of Energy YouTube - Black Eyed Peas - Lets Get Is Started The energy required to get a reaction started Enzymes… Are very specific… Part of an enzymes name is usually derived from the reaction that it catalyzes Examples: Lipase Protease Maltase Sucrase How do Enzymes do their JOB? Enzymes provide a site where reactants can be brought together to react Reduces the energy needed for reaction Substrates: the reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions Once the reaction is over, the products are released and the enzyme is FREE to start the process again Anatomy of an enzyme /genobc/animations/enzyme.mov Animation of Enzyme Action The lock and Key model Factors that Affect Enzymes Temperature What temperature do you think enzymes work best in the body? pH values What pH values do you think enzymes work best in the body? The pH scale * Energy is released or absorbed, meaning there is a change in energy Reactions that release energy occur spontaneously Reactions that absorb energy will not occur without a source of energy Energy released in the form of heat Example: Example: Melting of an ice cube Plants get their energy from the sun! Animals get their energy from consuming plants or other animals Where does that Energy GO… THINKING!! Occur through chemical reactions that occur when humans metabolize, or break down digested food!! What do they do? What are they? They are proteins Acts as biological catalysts to speed up the rate of the reaction by lowering the activation energy A chemical equation could look like this: UREA + H2O CO2 + NH3 urease Lock and key *
