Standard: SC.912.L.18.11 Explain the role of enzymes as catalysts that lower the activation energy of biological reactions. Identify factors such as pH and temperature adn their effect on enzymes.
Objectives:
1. Describe how reactions release and absorb energy
2. Describe how enzymes in organisms act as catalysts
3. Describe how pH and temperature affect enzyme activity
Daily Essential Question
Why are the actions of enzymes important to us? How can changes in an enzyme's surroundings influence its action?
