Describe enzymes as
catalysts that increase
the rate of biological
reactions in order to
make them useful. State
that enzymes form
enzyme substrate
complexes when the
substrate attaches to the
active site. Describe this
attachment as the Lock
and Key Hypothesis.
State that this catalyses
the reaction and that the
enzyme is subsequently
released unaltered. State
that enzymes are
substrate-specific. List
the factors that can
affect enzyme activity
including the effect of
concentration of enzyme
or substrate, pH and
temperature. List three
enzymes and their
substrates. Describe one
