Enzymes Lecture Materials
These
are the Enzymes Lecture materials of the Virtual Cell
Biology Classroom. The resources below are used to supplement an actual
college cell biology course. Anyone taking, teaching or interested in
biology may find these materials helpful and is welcome to use them.
The Enzymes Lecture materials include:
- a list of learning objectives
- a PowerPoint lecture
- review questions
- practice test questions
- an essay question homework document
- additional articles that support the lecture material
ENZYMES LECTURE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are a study guide based on the VCBC Enzymes Lecture PowerPoint:
- What is an enzyme? What is it made of? What does it do? How does an enzyme work?
- Is an enzyme used up in a chemical reaction?
- Can a specific enzyme facilitate any chemical reactions or only a specific type? If specific, what is the enzyme specific to?
- What is the enzyme-substrate complex?
- What is the difference and similarity between a substrate and a reactant?
- What factors can affect enzyme activity?
- What is the term for when an enzyme’s shape is changed so that it can no longer work?
- What is a cofactor?
- What are the two types of enzyme inhibitors that we discussed and how do they affect the enzyme?
- We discussed 2 enzyme examples in class: catecholase and bromelain. What reactions do each of these enzymes catalyze?
ENZYMES LECTURE POWERPOINT
All of the lecture PowerPoints used in the Virtual Cell Biology Classroom have fill-in-the-blanks on many of the slides to encourage students to pay attention and follow along during the presentation. Instructors, contact us for the information that goes in the blanks.
HELPFUL TIPS: Some of the PowerPoint presentations are large files and may take a few moments to download, depending on the speed of your internet connection. If you are printing a hard copy of the PowerPoint, you can save paper by selecting Handouts (rather than Slides) in the "Print What:" drop down menu of the PPT print screen. Then you can choose the number of slides you want to have on each printed page. If the printed PPT presentation is to be used as student notes, it is best to choose handouts with 2 or 3 slides per page.
ENZYMES CLASS NOTES
Here are brief summaries of some of the various subtopics and concepts introduced in this lecture, kind of like really good class notes.
- Enzyme Exercise: Catecholase & Accumulation of Polyphenol in Apples
ENZYMES TEST QUESTIONS
Practice test questions designed to help you better understand the material from this lecture. They are based on information in the Enzymes PowerPoint Lecture.
ENZYMES REVIEW QUESTIONS
Questions designed to help you review the material in the Enzymes Lecture.
ENZYMES CLASS ACTIVITY
Word document of an in-class activity given to students at the end of lecture. This tool helps the students review the main messages of the lecture while allowing the instructor to assess the class' understanding of the material.
