Enzymes are divided into ____ main classes. six
Catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions. Addition or removal of oxygen or hydrogen. Hydrogenation and dehydrogentaion are included in this category. Oxidoreductase
Catalyze transfer of a group from one molecule to another. Transferase
Catalyze the hydrolysis of substrate- the breaking of bond with addition of water. Hydrolase
Catalyze the isomeration (rearrangement of atoms) of a substrate in reactions that have one substrate and one product. Isomerase
Catalyze the bonding of 2 substrate molecules. Usually this is accomplished by dehydration synthesis. Synthetase
Removes CO2 Decarboxylase
When nonprotein portion of an enzyme is an organic compound,
it is called a (an) ________. (It usually fits into the active site.)

Synthetase
Classify the enzyme that would convert a triglyceride into 3 fatty acids and glycerol. Lipase
Classify the enzyme that would remove a phosphate ion from ATP and put it on glucose, resulting in ADP and glucose-6-phosphate. (Subclass) Kinase
A significant increase in temperature of an enzyme catalyzed reaction will reduce the reaction rate because the _______________. protein is partially or completely denatured
In an enzyme catalyzed reaction that usually occurs in the stomach, if the pH is changed from 2 to 7.4, how would it effect the reaction rate? Stop the activity
In an enzyme catalyzed reaction, if enzyme concentration is tripled, how would it effect the reaction rate? (Assuming unlimited substrate.) Triples the reaction rate
