enzymes catalysts

1
Catalysts

• speed up the rate of the reaction.

• lowers the energy input required for a chemical
  reaction to happen

• remains unchanged at the end of the reaction

Enzymes

• Enzymes are Biological catalysts

• Enzymes control chemical reactions that take
  place in the cytoplasm.

Catalase

• The enzyme catalase breaks down the waste
  substance hydrogen peroxide into water and
  oxygen.

Enzyme activity
Temperature and pH affect the activity of an
enzyme.

Optimum Condition

• Enzymes function best or are most active in
  specific conditions known as optimum
• conditions.

Properties of enzymes
Speed up reactions.
Made of protein.
Are specific.
Not used up during the reaction.
Require optimum conditions at which they work
best.
At high temperature they become denatured
