List 3 functions of proteins

Structural/Hormone/Antibody/Receptor/Enzyme

State the 2 type of reaction enzymes can be involved in

Synthesis and degradation

State the two factors that affect the function of a protein

Temperature and pH

Describe what happens in a degradation reaction

Complex/large molecules are broken down to simpler/smaller ones

State the term used to describe an enzyme at it's most active

Optimum

State the definition of an enzyme

a biological catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions but remains unchanged in the proccess

State the substrate in the reaction where amylase produces maltose

starch

Describe what happens in a synthesis reaction

simple/small molecules are built up to complex/larger ones

State the term used to describe an enzyme that has been at high temperature and has lost the shape of its active site

Denatured

State the enzyme that builds up glucose-1-phosphate into starch in potatoes

Phosphorylase

What part of the enzyme in complementary to a specific substrate

the Active Site

State what determines the variety and shape of proteins

The sequence of amino acids

State the products of the reaction where catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide

oxygen and water
