Enzymes
Here is example of an enzyme controlled reaction. In this reaction, maltose (a double sugar) is split into 2 glucose (single sugar) molecules. This is how our digestive system breaks down complex carbohydrates. What did you notice about the behavior of the enzyme after the reaction was complete?

THis was very helpful.

Wow! I didn't really understand how enzymes did their job but now I do! Thanks for posting this! :D

the video didnt include many details, but it gave me the basic idea on enzymes!!

Well, after the first two times it split, it was splitting very slowly. Then, it was splitting very rapidly. Therefore, the clip was showing how if an enzyme didn't speed chemical reactions, then everything in our bodies would happen very slowly. Since an enzyme speeds up the rate of chemical reaction, reactions happen very quickly.

this really helps me on how the emzymes are divas.

Thanks I never really under stood what enzymes do or how they do it. This video tought me that enzymes serve as a caytalist (speeds things up) for reactions.
ReplyDeletethis video really helps know why they need specific things in order to work and what it does when it works.

The way the enzymes break into 2 glucose molecules is kind of cool. They are like puzzle pieces.

helpful information for quiz
ReplyDeletei like the animation, simple yet effective at conveying Enzyme action

I really enjoyed the video. I could understand easily what the animations are doing and it helps me understand howmaltose is split into 2 glucose!

a very simple clip, but it shows a lot about how enzymes form substrate complexes and the different chemical reactions that happen when an enzyme and substrate meet

i really enjoyed the video. it was really simple
ReplyDeletecool video! It was very easy to understand.
ReplyDeleteGaby D. :)
I always kind of thought in the back of my head that the whole complex though I knew it was wrong, it just fit (pun not intended)for that. This video made sure that would never happen again.

Nice video. Simple ad effective. also fun to watch :)
ReplyDeleteNick Hartley 7B
this is a good video! this and the activity we did in class today help me fully understand everything :) thanks!
ReplyDeleteZoe S. 7G
now I see
ReplyDeleteThis video really helped me understand how enzymes work, since it was simple and displayed visually, I understand it more clearly now. Thanks for posting it (great review for quiz!)

I love this video. Can a chemical reaction happen without an enzyme and just be slower?
ReplyDeleteGeorgie T. 7G
enzymes r big bullies
ReplyDeletelouie s 7f
thanks for the clip. it's a really good way to show hydrolysis. everyone now is being green, even the enzymes, being reused and all. too bad their such divas...
ReplyDeletehow slow can reactions occur?
ReplyDeleteDimitar N.
i guess enzymes are very helpful
ReplyDelete-Elliot W. 7B
How much slower are reactions w/out enzymes?
ReplyDeleteSaraf R 7F
This video was cool! its really short but explains a lot
ReplyDeleteLila C. 7A
This helps a lot. It's very simple and clear. How fast can a reaction happen?
ReplyDelete- Ron T. 7F
this was a good video it helps explain what happens with an enzyme.
ReplyDelete-Danielle W. 7A
This was helpful thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteNicolaj C. 7F
That was awesome especially when the chemical reactions to show how an enzyme speeds up the rate of chemical reactions.
ReplyDeleteMatthew g.-7h
This video was really short but it was still helpful!
ReplyDeleteKelly L. 7E
This video helped me realized why the water is neccesary in this chemical reaction. It is because when sucrose is formed water is lost, so water has to be added to break it up again.
ReplyDeleteEric S. 7B
wow enzymes are really like divas!!!!!!
ReplyDeletedelcine
i really enjoyed the video!!! it helped me understand how a substrate is broken up. i didnt understand how the substrate broke up. i thought the enzyme relaesed something from itself to break it down.
