Program Objectives     Topics Covered       Pricing

Manufactured by living cells to perform specific functions, enzymes are biological catalysts made of protein. In Enzymes, you'll learn the importance of enzymes and how they work. Microscopic events are animated in this program, vividly revealing how enzymes sustain life.

Two dimensional models illustrate enzyme activity and factors affecting then. The narration provides a concise, step-by-step approach to learning about enzymes, ensuring student comprehension.

Topics covered:
Where are Enzymes Produced?; Where do Enzymes Act?; Chemical Reaction; Catalyst Substrates; Energy of Activation; Enzyme Nomenclature; Enzyme Structure; Lock-and-Key Model; Induced-Fit Model; Enzyme Activity: Effects of Enzyme on Substrate; Reusable Characteristic of Enzymes; Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity: Temperature, Enzyme Concentration, Substrate Concentration, pH, Cofactors, Noncompetitive Enzyme Inhibition, Competitive Enzyme Inhibition, Allosteric Activation, and Cooperativity.

Presentation
The Presentation portion of this program includes audio-narrated scenes featuring the content from the objectives.





Interactive Lessons
Students can work through different activities that directly reinforce the information learned in the Presentation.
