Connecting Concepts: Cell Biology/Thermodynamics 4: Enzymes
Students learn what enzymes can and cannot do in a reaction by hiring an enzyme for the job of catalyst from a set of candidates that may be exaggerating their qualifications. Students will: 1) evaluate the claims of each enzyme to determine if they violate the chemical and thermodynamic properties of enzymes; and 2) select the candidate who is honest about what a catalyst can do in a reaction....
