Question/“Food for thought”: Why do we need enzymes? Enzymes are key to our metabolism: They are needed for every chemical reaction that takes place in the human body. Every Synthesis (anabolic) Reaction uses enzymes Every Decomposition (catabolic) Reaction uses enzymes

Chemical Reactions § Synthesis: gets bigger (polymer) § Decomposition: gets smaller (monomer) § Reactants---_

Chemical Reactions § Synthesis: gets bigger (polymer) § Decomposition: gets smaller (monomer) § Reactants---_ Reaction---- Products § § § Enzymes shorten the arrows! Speed up reaction Make products faster! Speedy delivery!

Homeostasis § Enzymes are catalysts: they speed up reaction time so we can go

Homeostasis § Enzymes are catalysts: they speed up reaction time so we can go home faster! § Home: where we want to go § Stasis: because it’s stable! § Homeostasis: stability of organism

Denaturing § Sometimes high temperatures or extreme p. H values can affect the shape

Denaturing § Sometimes high temperatures or extreme p. H values can affect the shape of an enzyme. § This process can make an enzyme less effective, possibly even useless.
