Enzymes

Mr. Anderson introduces enzymes, focusing on catalase, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. He explains enzyme structure, including active sites, and discusses enzyme activation and inhibition. The video also covers a lab experiment using catalase to measure reaction rates, highlighting factors like enzyme concentration, temperature, and pH that affect enzyme activity.

Explain the concept of enzyme activation and how it can be achieved.

What is the relationship between enzyme concentration and reaction rate?

How does temperature affect enzyme activity?

Discuss the importance of enzymes in maintaining internal balance in organisms.
