Notes (1.4)

1. What is the function of an enzyme?

2. What type of macromolecule is an enzyme?

3. Create a model (aka a graph)  and use it to explain what enzymes do to the activation energy, and how this impacts the rate of reaction.  

4. Create a model (drawing) of an enzyme reaction.

Label: enzyme, active site, substrate, enzyme-substrate complex, and product 

5. Create a model (aka a graph) of the effect of temperature on enzyme activity. What happens at extremely high temperatures?
