  • What colour does iodine turn in the presence of starch
    Blue Black
  • In a investigation into the effect of pH on enzyme activity - what would the dependent variable be?
    Time take for enzyme activity / Rate of reaction
  • What is formed when a substrate fits into the active site of an enzyme
    Enzyme substrate complex
  • What chemical is used to test for starch
    Iodine
  • What is the substrate for protease?
    Proteins
  • In a investigation into the effect of pH on enzyme activity - what would the independent variable be?
    pH
  • Which small molecules make up carbohydrates
    Glucose / Sugars
  • Why is enzyme activity low at low temperature
    Less kinetic energy and collisions between enzyme and substrate
  • What is the substrate for lipase?
    Lipids
  • What is the substrate for carbohydrase?
    Carbohydrates
  • Name three factors that affect enzyme activity
    Temperature, pH, Concentration (of enzyme or substrate)
  • What is an anomalous result?
    Result that doesnt fit the pattern
  • What happens when an enzyme is denatured?
    The active site changes shape / Substrate no longer fits
  • What does optimum conditions mean
    The best conditions for enzyme action
  • Why does an enzyme only catalyse one type of reaction
    Active site is only complimentary to one substrate
  • Which part of an enzyme does the substrate fit into?
    Active site
  • In a investigation into the effect of pH on enzyme activity - what would the controlled variables be?
    Amount of substrate, temperature, Amount of enzyme, method of testing
  • Which small molecules (2) make up fats?
    Fatty acids and glycerol
  • Which small molecules make up proteins
    Amino acids
  • What affect can high temperature have on an enzyme
    Denature it
