Study Guide & Review Sheet for Enzymes I. Goal
II. Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this unit you should be able to:
III. Reading(s):
IV. Personal Interest: Quickly skim the assigned chapter, unit goal, learning objectives and web site notes. Write down any areas of particular interest to you.
V. Warm-up: Describe any personal experience that you have had with this topic. This could include previous work in high school, last semester in concepts, or in a non-academic setting. If you've had absolutely no previous experience with the topic, then write down how this topic may impact your daily life. Look through the objectives; do you know the answer to any of them?
VI. Activities:
- product formation vs. time
- number of molecules vs. energy per molecule.
- reaction rate vs. substrate concentration
- reaction rate vs. enzyme concentration;
- reaction rate vs. pH
- reaction rate vs. temperature
- Lineweaver-Burk plot (not on exam)
7. Define the following terms:
activation energy active site anabolism catabolism catalase coenzyme cofactor denature endergonic enzyme |
exergonic free energy induced fit kinetic energy native products reactants substrate |
VII. Using Other Resources: What have you learned about this topic from other resources including periodicals, AV material, web sites, people outside of class, etc.? Write down something you've learned about this topic from another source.
VIII. Extensions:
Explain why hydrogen peroxide foams when you place a drop of blood in
it. If you heated the blood before putting it into the peroxide would it still foam up?
What if you froze the blood first and then thawed it? Would the peroxide foam if the blood
drop were first treated with a mercury salt?
IX. Questions: After completing the activities, write any question(s) that you still have concerning the objectives or that pertain to related areas
