Bioscience study

This powerpoint presentation teaches students all about enzymes and how they work CONCEPTS COVERED: 1) INTRODUCTION TO ENZYMES: enzymes, enzyme specificity 2) ENZYME STRUCTURE: active site, substrate, 3-D conformation, denaturation, coagulation, allosteric site 3) ENZYME FUNCTION - INDUCED FIT: lock and key vs. induced fit 4) SPEEDING UP CHEMICAL REACTIONS: activation energy, potential energy graph with and without enzymes, how enzymes decrease activation energy 5) FACTORS AFFECTING ENZYME ACTI

Students are based on the basic information and bring their favorite foods to the test to detect and distinguish between:- 1. Carbohydrate and Non- Carbohydrate 2. reducing sugars and non-reducing sugars 3. mono (simple) and di sugars 4. Pentose sugars and Hexose sugars 5. Ketose sugars and Aldose sugars 6. monosaccharides, or polysaccharides (starch) Students work in pairs or groups to do 1. Molish ’s test 2. Iodine test 3. benedict test 4. barfoed test 5. bial test 6. seliwanoff test T
