Chemical reactions
Chemical reactions
Add the baking soda to one corner of the bag and add vinegar to the other end of the bag. MAKE SURE THEY ARE SEPARATE.
Mix the substances and watch the reaction
what physical changes did you observe?
Sodium bicarbonate + vinegar water + carbon dioxide
Reactants? Enter into a chemical reaction products? What are formed from the chemical
reaction

Chemical change always involves change in the bonds that join the atoms.

In order for a chemical reaction to happen, there needs to be enough energy to break existing bonds so new bonds can be formed.
Activation energy The energy needed to get a reaction
started is activation energy. Chemical reactions need energy to
react. Red rover Energy releasingLike burning a match!

Enzymes Chemical reactions are made possible in our bodies
but the activation energy is so high, they need the help of enzymes
Enzymes- Proteins that speed up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy.
Catalyst- An inorganic enzyme. (can work in more extreme conditions)
EnzymesEnzymes are protein molecules, and so are made up of amino acids. Most enzymes contain between 100 and 1,000 amino acids.
These amino acids are joined together in a long chain, which is folded to produce a unique 3D structure.
Enzymes work by binding to a specific component due to its shape.
Enzymes are very specific about which reactions they catalyze. Only molecules with exactly the right shape will bind to the enzyme and react. These are the reactant, or substrate, molecules.
The part of the enzyme to which the reactant binds is called the active site.
This is a very specific shape and the most important part of the enzyme.
What happens at the active site?In the same way that a key fits into a lock, so a substrate is thought to fit into an enzyme’s active site. The enzyme is the lock, and the reactant is the key.

Enzymes are NOT used up in this process, after they combine with the necessary substrate (reactant) in the reaction.
When the enzyme and substrate combine, the substrate is changed to a different chemical called the product.
when the substrate and the active site on an enzyme combine, a product is created.
The product is then released so a new substrate can bind.
Induced Fit Model Enzyme changes shape to fit the
substrate. The induced fit model has been
compared to a hand-in-glove model, wherein it may be difficult to insert the first finger into the proper place, but once done, the other fingers go in easily because the glove is now properly aligned.

All enzymes work best at only one particular temperature and pH: this is called the optimum.
Factors that affect the rate of a reaction include:
substrate concentration temperature
pH
enzyme concentration
surface area
pressure.
Different enzymes have different optimum temperatures and pH values.
If the temperature and pH changes sufficiently beyond an enzyme’s optimum, the shape of the enzyme irreversibly changes.
heat
pH
This affects the shape of the active site and means that the enzyme will no longer work.
When this happens the enzyme is denatured.

are denatured? An enzyme is similar to a __________ but
it is biological.
