Dear Students, Respectable Teachers and Parents,
In this 3rd Chapter (Ch#3 Enzymes), students will learn about the structure of Enzyme, definition of enzyme, apoenzyme, cofactor, prosthetic group, co-enzyme and holoenzyme, Characteristics of Enzymes, mechanism of Enzyme Action, explain the mechanism of enzyme action through induced fit model comparing it with lock and key model, show with the help of a diagram how an enzyme catalyzes specific reactions, describe energy of activation and explain through graph how an enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the energy of activation, Factors Affecting Enzyme Action, explain different factors affecting the rate of enzyme action (through a graph), compare the optimum temperature of human body enzymes and thermophilic bacteria, compare the optimum pH of different enzymes like trypsin, pepsin, Enzyme Inhibition, compare inhibitor and activator and highlight their significance, categorize inhibitors into competitive and non-competitive inhibitors, explain feedback inhibition, Classification of Enzymes, identify different enzymes on the basis of reactions they catalyze and nature of substrate.
