CHEMICAL REACTIONS
2.4 Chemical Reactions and Enzymes What is a chemical reaction?
5
Chemical ReactionsMass and energy are conservedReactants Products2 kinds: energy releasing
(exothermic) and energy absorbing (endothermic)
CHEMICAL REACTIONS ALWAYS INVOLVE CHANGES IN THE CHEMICAL BONDS THAT JOIN ATOMS IN COMPOUNDS.
Exothermic ReactionsReaction in which heat is given off
(Ex. combustion of fuels)
2H2 + O2 2H2O 6
Endothermic ReactionsReaction in which heat is
absorbed (Ex. water is evaporated)
7
Activation EnergyEnergy needed to get a reaction
going
8
CatalystA substance that speeds up the
rate of a reactionIt works by lowering activation
energy
9
EnzymesProteins that act as biological
catalystsThey speed up chemical
reactions that take place in cellsThey are very specific and
usually catalyze only one chemical reaction
10
SubstratesThe reactants of enzyme-
catalyzed reactionsThey bind to sites on the enzyme
called active sites Lock and KeyCO2 + H2O H2CO3

Regulation of Enzyme ActivityTemperature, pH, and regulatory
molecules can affect how well enzymes work
Pepsin works best under acidic conditions (begins protein digestion)
Some are regulated by molecules that carry chemical signals within cells that turn enzymes “on” or “off”
