Anabolic and catabolic reactions
Metabolism consists of anabolic reactions that build larger molecules from smaller ones using energy, and catabolic reactions that break down larger molecules, releasing energy.

Enzymes as globular proteins with an active site
Enzymes are globular proteins with an active site where substrates bind, undergoing induced-fit binding which alters both the substrate and active site for catalysis.

Induced-fit model of enzyme binding
Enzyme activity is influenced by molecular motion, with substrate–active site collisions necessary for catalysis.

Slide 7 - Diapositive

Molecular motion and substrate–active site collisions
Enzyme–substrate specificity is determined by the active site's shape and chemical properties, with denaturation occurring when the enzyme's structure is altered beyond repair.

Key Definitions
Metabolism: The set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms.
Anabolic Reactions: Metabolic reactions that construct molecules from smaller units, requiring energy input.
Catabolic Reactions: Metabolic reactions that break down molecules into smaller units and release energy.
Enzymes: Proteins that act as biological catalysts to speed up chemical reactions without being consumed.
Active Site: The region on an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.
Induced-Fit Binding: A model describing how enzyme and substrate undergo shape changes for effective binding and catalysis.
Denaturation: The process by which a protein loses its three-dimensional structure and function, often irreversible.
Activation Energy: The minimum quantity of energy that the reacting species must possess in order to undergo a specified reaction.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Slide 13 - Question ouverte

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.
Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Slide 14 - Question ouverte

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.
Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

Slide 15 - Question ouverte

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
