Material Detail
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.

Part four of five interactive exercises that investigate the role of thermodynamics in cell activity. Enzymes are critical to cell life. This is a vital and not easily understood concept. Very well written and well organized. Requires students to draw conclusions from information presented.
Technical Remarks:
Requires Flash player
