ENZYMES!!!

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. :)=

== Task One: =Visit this website and roll through each flash animation. Instead of me boring you to death with lecture. . . watch and understand the important points of enzymes (take notes):=
 * http://web.biosci.utexas.edu/psaxena/MicrobiologyAnimations/Animations/Enzyme-Substrate/micro_enzyme-substrate.swf

Task Two: View the below video (Enzyme function and inhibition) to help understand Task Four better!:

Task Three:

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





Task Four: =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
