What are Catalysts?
• Substances which can alter or speed up a chemical reaction,
• without itself being chemically changed at the end of the reaction.

• Enzymes are biological catalysts
• which are mainly proteins that are produced by living cells.
• Enzymes can be DENATURED by heating or by changes in the pH of the solution

The function of enzymes
• How is energy released from sugar (glucose)?
• But how can our cells provide such high temperatures during cellular respiration to release energy from glucose??
Glucose + Oxygen Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy
Strong Heat

Enzyme-Catalyzed Catabolic ReactionsEnzyme-Catalyzed Catabolic Reactions
DigestionDigestion
• Breakdown of complex food substances to smaller, simpler, more soluble and diffusible substances.
• So that food can pass through the cell membrane and be absorbed into the bloodstream.
• Enzymes involved – Hydrolases (e.g Carbohydrases, Proteases and Lipases)

1 An enzyme is a biological catalyst made of protein. It alters the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being chemically changed at the end of the reaction.

2 Yes, the statement is valid. Large, insoluble molecules such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins cannot diffuse through the cell surface membrane. They must first be converted into simpler, smaller substances, which are soluble and diffusible.

3 Meat contains mostly proteins, hence we can infer that this enzyme acts on proteins. The enzyme could soften meat by breaking down the proteins into peptides or amino acids.

4 A very rapid, violent chemical reaction would take place, with a thick layer of foam produced. Water and oxygen are produced when catalase in the red blood cells breaks down hydrogen peroxide.
