PRE-LAB QUESTIONS Enzymes- Lab #5 Why are enzymes essential for life? What are two factors that can affect an enzymes ability catalyze reaction? would the enzyme still be able to If the shape of the active site changed on an enzyme; catalyze the same substrate Why or why not? The diagram in the introduction of this lab shows the enzyme sucrase Write the chemical reaction with sucrase as follows: Enzyme Products Substrate
