Enzymes and Digestion

enzyme- protein that enables chemical reactions
synthesis- combining 2 molecules to create a new product
degradation- separates a molecule into 2 products
active site- a region of an enzyme where substrates bind (the molecule(s) being acted on).
The shape is specific, like a puzzle piece, for its substrate
amount of substrate will affect the rate, as well as the PH and temperature.
temp + ph are the environmental conditions the enzyme works best in
Denature- changes shape
