Enzymes!+13-14



== Enzymes =: Probably the MOST important topic you guys need to know cold. . . I mean cold for the AP test. These suckers run and control every process in your body! We are going to do some group research and teaching again (like our Bio Chem presentations). :)=

== Task One: =Visit this website and roll through each flash animation. Instead of Mr. Beal boring you to death with lecture. . . watch and understand the important points of enzymes:=

== Task Two: =Open, Read, Study and Learn this PP. .. then complete the guided reading.= === ===




 * online and upload

== Task Three: =Mr Beal will assign a specific section for your group to present and teach to other groups. The covered topics will be:=
 * General description of what enzymes are and Cofactors
 * Competitive Inhibitiors
 * Noncompetitive Inhibitors
 * Allosteric Activators
 * Allosteric Inhibitors
 * Feedback Inhibition
 * Factors that effect enzyme activity: Temp, pH and salinity
 * Factors that effect enzyme activity: enzyme concentration and substrate concentration

What is expected of each presentation:
 * a clear definition of each topic
 * a clear example of each topic
 * the importance of the topic relative to its function in a reaction or the human body (clinical cases or applications work well - for example disulfiram is used to treat alcoholics because it blocks the enzyme that breaks down alcohol, causing severe illness 5 minutes after having a drink)
 * a graphic or video clearly showing what you are explaining

Task Five: =Post your work in our Google Class Folder.=
