Activation Energy

Enzyme Analogy

$400

10$/ hr.

$ Breakdown

• 10$/ hr. X 4 = $ 40• Working only Saturday’s– $40 X 10 = $400– You can buy the system in DE

But….

So…. $ Breakdown

• 20% of $400 = $80• Which means the PS4 will cost only $320!!

And you only need to work for 8 weeks!!

Unfortunately…

So what can cause harm…

• Change in pH (because soap is basic)• Change in temperature (because the dryer

gets pretty hot)

Just like an enzyme…

Substrate

• The compound that an enzyme changes during a chemical reaction.
