2.5 Enzymes
Essential Idea:
Enzymes control the metabolism of the cell
Understandings:
2.5.U1: Enzymes have an active site to which specific substrates bind
2.5.U2: Enzyme catalysis involves molecular motion and the collision of substrates with the active site
2.5.U3: Temperature, pH and substrate concentration affect the rate of activity of enzymes
2.5.U4: Enzymes can be denatured
2.5.U5: Immobilized enzymes are widely used in industry
Applications:
2.5.A1: Methods of production of lactose-free milk and its advantages
Skills:
2.5.S1: Design of experiments to test the effect of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on the activity of enzymes
2.5.S2: Experimental investigation of a factor affecting enzyme activity
