Chemical ReactionsEnzymes
Objectives B3 - Identify the parts of a chemical
reaction. B4 - Identify investigate the role of
enzymes and summarize the importance of enzymes
in living systems
3
Homeostasis

• - process by which organisms maintain a stable
  internal environment

Examples - Heart speeds up accommodate the
need of oxygen when exercising -
Sweat to keep cool - Shiver to help keep
warm - Buffering system maintains the blood
pH 7.4
4
Chemical Reactions

• - always involve the breaking of bonds in
  reactants the formation of new bonds in products

5
Enzymes

• proteins that act as biological catalysts
• speed up (or catalyze)
  chemical reactions
• lower activation energies

6
Enzymes

• reversible
• are used over and over
• (are not changed by the reaction)
• most work best at body temperature normal pH

7
Enzymes

• Specific lock key hypothesis
• Usually end in ase

8
Starch
Amylase Glucoamylase
Glucose isomerase

Etymology

• Homeostsis homeo- (same) -stasis (Gk. STASIS,
  a standstill)
• Enzyme en- (Gk. EN-, in) -zyme (ZUME, leaven
  something that modifies)
