WHAT'S NEW
1. Enzyme is a type of protein found within a cell. Enzyme create chemical reactions in the
body. It is known as biological catalysts because they lower the activation energy of reaction
hence speeding them up, they are unchanged at the end of the reaction and can be re-used.
2. Enzymes are really important protein that speeds up the rate of reaction such as
photosynthesis, respiration and protein synthesis. The enzymes in your body help to perform
very important tasks. These include building muscle, destroying toxins, and breaking down food
particles during digestion.
WHAT IS IT
1. Enzymes work in conjunction with substrates. The enzyme and substrates are always
moving and occasionally they collide at the right speed and orientation so the substrate fits into
the enzyme at the active site. When an enzyme binds its substrate, it forms an enzyme-
substrate complex. This complex lowers the activation energy of the reaction and promotes its
rapid progression by providing certain ions or chemical groups that actually form covalent bonds
with molecules as a necessary step of the reaction process.
2. Catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction. Enzymes are
proteins that act as biological catalyst. Enzymes speed up rate of reaction. It is known as
biological catalyst because it lowers the activation energy reaction hence speeds them up.
3. Enzymes specialized their active site matches the shape of specific substrates fit together
using a lock and key mechanism, it needs a particular enzyme to match a particular substrate.

LESSON 2
WHAT I KNOW
1. The warmer the temperature (usually up to about 40-45 degrees Celsius), the faster the
enzymes catalyse a reaction. This is because increasing the temperature increases the speed
at which the reacting particles move, so they collide more often.
2. As with many chemical reactions, the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases as
the temperature increases. However, at high temperatures the rate decreases again because
the enzyme becomes denatured and can no longer function.

WHAT'S IN
Yes, Oxidation and reduction must occur simultaneously, is it because electrons are
conserved in a chemical reaction and so for a balanced chemical reaction the number of
electrons lost equals the number of electrons gained. A substance that causes another
substance to decrease is a reducing agent. So, before and after the reaction, just look at the
oxidation number of an atom to define an oxidizing agent. If the amount of oxidation in the
product is greater, so it loses electrons and oxidizes the material. If the level of oxidation is
smaller, then electrons are obtained and decreased. In a reaction, the product that is decreased
is the oxidizing agent since it gains electrons.
