Chapter 5: Metabolism and Enzymes Date:.......................

5.1 METABOLISM

1. Metabolism is a term used to describe all the chemical reactions involved in maintaining the life of
cells and organisms.

2. There are two types of metabolism which are:-

Metabolisme

Catabolisme Anabolisme
Example: Example:
................................................. ..................................................

5.2 ENZYMES

1. Enzymes are a type of ....................... that helps ............................. ................. response rate inside
the cell. Enzymes are also known as ..................................................

2. An enzyme is named by adding the suffix –ase to the substrate that reacts to it:

for example; SUBSTRATE: lactose, ENZYME: ........................

3. General properties of enzymes:

General properties Description


a. requires a
cofactor
B. Reverse
Reaction
c. Specific
Responses
d. Temperature
sensitive
e. sensitive to pH
f. required in small
quantities
g. slowed down by
inhibitors

4. .............................................. hypothesis used to describe the mechanism of action of enzymes.


Substrate molecules represent ...................... while enzyme molecules represent ...................

5. When a substrate molecule joins an enzyme molecule at its active site, an enzyme-substrate
complex is formed. In this complex, the substrate is converted into .....................

6. Provide a description of the factors that affect the enzyme response:-

i.pH III. Enzyme Concentration:

II. Temperature: IV. Substrate Concentration:

STRENGTHENING TRAINING

1. The figure below shows the mechanism of action of enzymes against the substrate based on
the 'mango and key' hypothesis

Figure 1
a) i) based on Figure 1 above, give two properties of the enzyme (2m)
ii) Label the mango part and the lock part in the diagram above (2m)
iii) name the P structure (2m)
b) Name the part of the enzyme that is bound to the substrate molecule (2m)
c) Explain why enzymes only act on substrate A and not on substrate B (2m)

2. Starches, proteins, and lipids can be hydrolyzed by the enzymes X, Y, and Z, respectively.
Figure 2 is a graph showing the effect of ph on the activity rate of enzymes.

Figure 2

Based on Figure 2, name the enzymes X,Y and Z and explain how the change in ph affects the
activity of the enzyme (10m)
