Unijke plant cells, this cell wall is not made of cellulose.

A pattially permeable cell membfane is pressed tightly ‘against the inside of the bacteyfal cell wall. As in plant ‘and animal cells, the cell mepfbrane controls what enters and leaves the cel. Bacterial cells have cytopfasm and ribosomes, which have the same funetions as in/animal and plant cells. They do rnot have mitochondriy/or chloroplasts. The most importan ydifference between a bacterial cell and animal or plant cells is that bacteria do not have a nucleus. Bdcterial cells are also known as prokaryotic ect. Pro’ means ‘before’, and “karyotic’ means ‘nucleus’, Prokaryotic cells appeared on Earth millions of ygars before cells with nuclei appesred. Instead of ghromosomes inside « nucleus, bacteria have a citgle of DNA. This is sometimes called a bacterial/chromosome. The DNA has exactly the same functiog as in other cells it provides instruetions for making proteins. ‘Bactyfial cells often have one or more smaller circles of DNA. called plasmids. Scientists can use plasmids in the gengiic modification of cells and organisms, which you can fread about in Chapter 20 position of cell membrane cytoplasm ragion where the DNA\s found Figure 2.15: This pltre wes akon wth an leevon microscope, afterwhich the colours were added to it.

Without enzymes, he reaetions would take place very slowly or not at all Enzymes ensure that the rates of metabolic reactions are sreat enough to sustain life. For example, inside the intestines, large molecules are broken down to smaller ones in the process of digestion. ‘These reactions are speeded up by enzymes. A different enzyme is needed for each kind of nutrient. For example, starch is digested to a sugar called maltose by an enzyme called amylase, Proteins are digested to amino acids by protease These enzymes are also found in plants ~for example, in germinating soeds they digest the food stores for the growing seedling. Many seeds contain stores of starch, As the seed soaks up water, the enzyme amylase becomes active. Amylase catalyses the reaction in which starch breaks down to maltose, Starch is insoluble, but maltose is soluble, $o, maltose can easily be transported to the embryo in the seed, The embryo uses it to provide energy for growth. “Maltose can be broken down to provide glucose molecules that can be linked together to make cellulose ‘molecules. Cellulose is necessary for the cell walls of the new cells produced as the embryo grows. Another enzyme which speeds up the breakdown of @ substance is catalase, Catalase works inside all the cells of living organisms, It breaks down hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. This is necessary bocause hydrogen peroxide is produced by many of the chemical reuetions ‘which take place inside cells. Hydrogen peroxide is a very dangerous substance and must be broken down immediately catalase hydrogen peroxide ——+ water + oxygen Not all enzymes help to break things down. Many enzymes help to make large molecules from small ones, For example, enzymes help to link amino wcids together lo make proteins inside cells, Many industries now use enzymes, and the production Of enzymes on a large scale is becoming a very profitable ‘major industry (Figure 5.2). You ean find out about some of these industrial uses of enzymes in Chapter 20, Figure 5.2: If you see ‘zyme’ on the end of a word, itis almost certainly an enzyme. This factory produces huge: ‘quantities of enzymes for athar industries to use alimentary canal: the part of the digestive system ‘through which food passos as it moves from the mouth to the anus catalyst: a substance that increases the rate of ‘chemical reaction and is not changed by the reaction enzymes: proteins that are involved in all metabolic reactions, where they function as. biological catalysts amylase: an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of starch to maltose protease: an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of protein to amino acids catalase: an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen Naming enzymes Enzymes a7e named according to the reaction that they ‘Rtalse. Their numes often end in -ase. For example, fnzymos that catalyse the breakdown of carbohydrates She called carbohylrases, If they break down proteins, they are proteases. If they break down fats and oils (lipids) they are lipases, ‘Sometimes, enzymes are given more specific names than this. For example, we have seen that the carbohydrase that breaks down starch is called amylase. ‘A carbohydrase that breaks down maltose is called {mltase. A carbobydrase that breaks down sucrose is called suerase “The substance that an enzyme changes is called its sulsteate, The substrate of amylase is starch, The substrate of lipase is lipids. Notice how careful you have to be to spell the name of the enzyme und its substrate correctly, and to write clearly, Maltose and maltase can look almost the same if you do not write carefully, carbohydrases: enzymes that break down carbohydrates lipases: enaymes that break clown lipids (fats and oils) | | maltase: an enayme that catalyses the breakdown | of maltose to glucose | sucrase: an enzyme that breaks down sucrose substrate: the substance that an enzyme causes to react, Questions 11 Explain why enzymes are called biological catalysts. 2 You read about the enzyme lactase at the start of this chapter. a What type of enzyme is lactase? bb Name the substrate of lactase. 5 Enzymes How enzymes work Each type of enzyme has molecules with a very specific shape, The enzyme molecule has a ‘dent’ init, called the active site (Figure 5.3). ‘The substrate enzyme molecule has a a= active complementary ate shape to the Sy 4 active site of the enzyme. The substrate must be a perfect ft fs ye ee new molecules called products. Figure 5.3: How an enzyme catalyses a reaction. ‘An enzyme works by allowing a molecule of its substrate to fit into the active site, where the substrate and the enzyme bind together. For this to happen, the fit has to bbe perfect. We suy that the shape of the enzyme and the shape of the substrate are complementary to one another. ‘When the sfbante is in the active site and bound to the enzyme, the enzyme makes the substrate change into a new substance called the product, Then the product breaks away from the enzyme, Now the enzyme is free, and ready to bind with another substrate molecule. In Figure 5.3, the substrate is a single molecule, and it is broken into two produet molecules. Enzymes can also catalyse reactions where two substrate molecules bind ‘with its active site and are joined together to form & single product molecule, he part of an enzyme molecule to Which the substrate temporarily binds complementary: with a perfect mirror-image shape product: the new substance formed by chemical reaction | > CAMBRIDGE IGCSE™ BIOLOGY: COURSEBOOK You have probably taken a few minutes to read about how enzymes work, and to look at the diagram in Figure 5.3. In that time, a single enzyme molecule could have catalysed millions of reactions. The euzyme catalase ig the fastest enzyme known. One catalase molecule can break down an almost unbelievable 44 million hydrogen peroxide molecules in one second, ‘eptimum: best: for example, the optimum ‘temperature of an enzyme is the temperature at which its activity is greatest ry ‘The short-lived structure that forms as the substrate slots into the enzyme’s sotive site has its own name.

Bach enzyme moleeale can change many substrate molecules to products every second, Rate of reaction ‘But there are some factors that can affect this speed of action, Enzymes are very sensitive to temperature and o 2 4 6 B8 0 1 pH. Each kind of enzyme has a particular temperature i pH at which it works fastest (Figures 5.4 and 5.5). “These are called the optimum temperature, and the optimum pH, for that enzyme. ne eflect of pH on enzyme activity 5 Enzymes Denaturation ‘We have seen that enzymes have an optimum Temperature, at which they work fastest. Enzymes trom the human body generally have an optimum temperature bf about 37°C. Enzymes from plants may have optimum femperat ues much lower than this. Some bacteria, fxpeviaily those that live in hot springs, may have really high optimum temperatures —up to 80°C in some cases ‘For many enzymes, a temperature above about 60°C completely stops them working, This is because the high temperature damages the enzyme, The enzyine is said to be denatured, It cannot catalyse its reaction anymore, enzymes also have an optimum pH. For most enzymes, this is around pH 7. However, there are some enzymes that work best in a much higher or lower pH than this, For example, in Chapter 7, you will find out about an enzyme that works best in the acidic conditions in the human stomach ~at a pH of about 2 ‘When an enzyme is placed in a liquid with « pH that is not its optimum pH, itis damaged. The enzyme is denatured and cannot catalyse its reaction. Explaining how temperature and pH affect enzyme activity ‘ook at the graph in Figure 5.4. You can see that at 0°C, the enzyine has no activity. At this temperature, molecules have very little kinetic energy ~ they are moving only slowly, As they are moving only slowly, the substrate molecules rarely collide with the enzyme. So, they rarely enter its active site, and very few subst: molecules are converted to product. As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the enzyme and substrate molecules increases. They move faster and collide with each other more frequently and with ‘mote energy, Effective collisions are more frequent, Each second, more substrate molecules collide with an active site ‘and are converted to product. This is why the graph shows ‘enzyme activity inereasing as temperature increases However, as temperature inereases above the optimum, the kinetic energy of the enzyme begins to shake it apart, [ts molecules begin to lose their shape, so that the active site is no longer a true complementary shape to the substrate, When a substrate molecule collides with aan active site, it may not fit. It cannot form an enzyme: substrate complex and is not converted (o product. The activity of the enzyme therefore decreases. When the temperature reuches 60°C, the active site is s0 out of shape that the enzyme has completely stopped working, Teis completely denatured. Something similar happens when pH changes. Exch. nzyme molecule has a very specific shape, with the active site being the best fit for the substrate nt its optimum pH. A pH well above or below this value causes the enzyme molecule to lose its shape (denature), s0 it ean uo longer bind with the substrate. Questions 5 Look at the graph that you drew from your results in Experimenta skills §.2 Investigating the effect of temperature on the activity of lipase. In your own words, explain the shape of the graph. Explain’ means using yous biological knowledge and understanding lo give easons for the shape of the graphs) 6 Use your own words to explain the shapes of the curve for most enzymes, in Figure 5.5 Enzymes are proteins that function as biological catalysts and inerease the rate of metabolic reactions, Without enzymes, these reactions would not take place fast enough to sustain life ‘The enzyme is unchanged. Each enzyme has an active site that has a complementary shape to its substrate “When the substrate binds with the active site of the enzyme, the substrate is converted to product. “The binding of substrate to the active site of the enzyme forms an enzyme-substrate complex.
