1. Amylase is the lock, while starch is the key.
2. The starch with a three-dimensional shape complementary to that of the active site can fit into the amylase molecule.
3. An enzyme-substrate complex is formed.
4. The activation energy is lowered and bonds are formed/broken.
5. maltose is formed and released from the active site.
6. The amylase molecule is free to bind with more starch molecules.

The substrate with a three-dimensional shape complementary to that of the active site can fit into the enzyme molecule. Thus, an enzyme-substrate complex is formed and the activation energy is lowered and bonds are formed/broken. Products are formed and released from the active site. The enzyme molecule is free to bind with more substrate molecules.

2. PH value, too high or too low denatures]]> 2023-03-08 04:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kranjisecondary1/4K4BioPLipase/wish/2508007223 https://padlet.com/kranjisecondary1/4K4BioPLipase/wish/2508007540  Enzyme needs an optimum temperature.
When temperature is below optimum temperature for the enzyme, enzyme activity is low. When temperature is above optimum temperature, the enzyme will be denatured and substrate is not able to fit into the active site and no enzyme substrate can be formed.
pH value must be optimal for the enzymes affected.
Extreme changes in pH denature the enzymes and enzymes loses its three-dimensional shape and the substrate cannot fit into the active site causing no enzye substrate complex to be formed.

When it is at the optimum temperature, the enzymes are the most active and the rate of enzyme activity is the highest. 
Above optimum temperature, the active site loses its 3 dimensional shape and it is denatured. The substrate cannot fit into the active site. 
At extreme pHs, the enzymes become denatured and the active site loses its 3 dimensional shape and the substrate cannot fit into the active site.]]> 2023-03-08 04:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kranjisecondary1/4K4BioPLipase/wish/2508010009 https://padlet.com/kranjisecondary1/4K4BioPLipase/wish/2508010872 Form new products by combining(bond making) or breaking down(bond breaking) substances.

Carried out using the lock and key hypothesis:
1. Enzyme is the lock, substrate is the key. 
2. They have 3 dimensional active site with the shape complementary to the substrate.
3. When the substrate and enzyme bind, they form an enzyme substrate complex.
4. Ea is lowered
5. Products are formed and released form the active site.
6. Enzymes are free to bind with other substrates.

The substrate has a three-dimensional shape that complements with the active site of the enzyme molecule. As the substrate fit and binds to the enzyme, a enzyme-substrate complex is formed.

This is because there was bile found in test tube 2 which emulsifies fat. This increase surface area to volume ratio of lipids and increases the efficiency of lipase on lipids. Lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol faster, turning the solution yellow faster. However, test tube 1 did not contain bile, hence it was slower. The contents in test tube 3 did not turn yellow as the lipase added was boiled. This denatures the lipase and active site loses its three dimensional shape. Lipids are unable to form a enzyme substrate complex with enzyme.

There is no emulsification of larger fat molecules into smaller fat molecule which will speed up the rate of reaction as emulsification of fat increases surface area to volume ratio of fat molecules to lipase. lipase will then breakdown fat molecule at a slower rate, solution turns acidic at a slower rate causing solution to turn yellow slower. in test tube 3, solution remained blue as boiled lipase were added. lipase becomes denature at high temperature due to boiling, there is no breakdown of fat in fatty acid and glycerols in the solution hence solution remains alkaline and remains blue]]> 2023-03-09 02:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kranjisecondary1/4K4BioPLipase/wish/2509579548 https://padlet.com/kranjisecondary1/4K4BioPLipase/wish/2509581289 Test tube 1 does not have bile salts but it has fresh lipase to digest fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Hence, the solution will become acidic and the time taken for bromothymol blue will turn from blue to yellow will be more than test tube 2 due to a lack of bile salts.
