Chapter 8 EC #1

2. Thermal energy in transfer from one body of matter to another.
4. A chemical agent that selectively increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction.
6. A process that occurs without an overall input of energy; a process that is energetically favorable.
9. The specific region of an enzyme that binds the substrate and that forms the pocket in which catalysis occurs.
13. A substance that reduces the activity of an enzyme by binding to a location remote from the active site

1. energy The amount of energy that reactants must absorb before a chemical reaction will start
3. The energy that matter possesses as a result of its location or spatial arrangement
5. An adenine-containing nucleoside triphosphate that releases free energy when its phosphate bonds are hydrolyzed
7. A macromolecule serving as a catalyst
8. The reactant on which an enzyme works
10. the change in shape of the active site of an enzyme so that it binds more snugly to the substrate.
11. A measure of molecular disorder, or randomness.
12. Any nonprotein molecule or ion that is required for the proper functioning of an enzyme
14. The capacity to cause change, especially to do work
