GCSE Biology - Enzymes - How They Work - Worksheet 11

Uploaded by

Risali Karunarathna

This document provides an overview of enzymes and how they work. It includes questions to test understanding of key concepts: 1. It defines a catalyst as something that speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up in the process. Enzymes are biological catalysts. 2. Enzymes differ from other catalysts in that they are complex protein molecules that catalyze specific biochemical reactions. 3. There are two main models of enzyme action - the lock and key model and the induced fit model. The induced fit model is generally considered more accurate as it accounts for enzymes having some flexibility.

4 Consider the following sentences and mark them as true ‘T’, or false ‘F’

! A single enzyme is able to catalyse a variety of different types of reactions

! Enzymes are made from long chains of amino acids

! A single enzyme can catalyse the same reaction multiple times in its life

Enzymes are completely rigid, unless the substrate fits the active site 100% perfectly, the enzyme
! will not catalyse the reactions
