    1. As temperature increases, substrate and enzyme molecules gain kinetic energy and are more likely to collide and bind together, increasing the reaction rate. However, beyond an optimum temperature, the enzyme molecules begin to vibrate too much, causing their 3D structure and active sites to change shape so they become denatured and enzyme activity decreases. 2. Changing pH can also denature enzymes by affecting their 3D structure, preventing them from catalyzing reactions if the active site changes shape. Each enzyme works best within a certain optimum pH range.

    SUMMARY

    1. At

    higher

    temperatures

    substrate

    molecules

    and

    enzymes

    have

    more

    ______________ energy. Therefore, substrates and enzymes are more likely


    to ________________ and bind together. Therefore, from a low temperature
    to

    the

    _________________

    temperature,

    rate

    of

    reaction

    _____________________.
    2. The enzyme molecules are also gaining in energy and begin to ______________.
    Eventually the molecules vibrate so much that they lose their 3D shape. If the
    ________________ changes shape enzymes can no longer catalyse reactions
    are said to be _______________. Therefore, at very high temperatures
    enzyme activity slows down.
    3. Denaturation is usually irreversible.
    4. The conditions that an enzyme works best at are called the ____________
    conditions.
    5. Changing the acid or base (pH) conditions around an enzyme can also effect its
    3D shape. If the active site changes shape the enzyme can no longer catalyse
    reactions. Each enzyme has its optimum pH depending on its environment.
    Word bank: You can use these terms more than once - Collide, decreases kinetic, active
    site, optimum, vibrate, denatured,
