AMOEBA SISTERS: VIDEO RECAPENZYMESAmoeba Sisters Video Recap:Enzymes1. In the box below, please Illustrate an enzyme andsubstrate. Label the following keywords in yourillustration: enzyme, substrate, and active site.2.Enzymes are typically which type ofbiomolecule?3. Describe the effects that enzymes can have onsubstrates.Sukfrltate i<; kg|J KIn order to function efficiently, enzymes need to'be atanidealpHanotemperature.Different enzymes have different ideal pH and temperature conditions. If the pH ortemperature is extreme for a particular enzyme, it can even denature an enzyme,which can prevent it from binding and acting on its substrate. For the following twoscenarios, name the variable (temperature or pH) that is affecting the function of theenzyme.D'tthWIinA) ATP is produced by cellular respiration in your human body cells. There are a variety of enzymes that work to produceATP, but one of those enzymes is called phosphofructokinase-1. This enzyme is sensitive t o blood acidity. Blood canbecome more acidic ifapatient is in respiratory distress.___________________________________________4.Variable affecting enzyme function:5. Variable affecting enzyme function:Bl A popular lab that can be performed by studentsis t o test the reaction rate of catalase enzyme whenit acts o n the substrate hydrogen peroxide. Catalasehas the ability t o breakdown hydrogen peroxide.Catalase can be found in beef liver from the grocerystore! However, if the beef liver is boiled first, thecatalase will not b e able t o break down hydrogenperoxide.
