How do enzymes help organisms survive?
By the end of this unit, you will be able to:
- Collect data on the rates of reactions (synthesis and breakdown) via different enzymes and the rates of reactions that occur without each enzyme.
- Construct tables and graphs to represent the data for each enzyme.
- Compare the rates of reactions for the different enzymes.
- Give examples of several enzyme-catalyzed reactions that occur in living systems, and describe the importance of each reaction for the organism.
- Explain why an organism that has a deficiency of one of the enzymes is unable to perform a particular life function.
