Chemical Reactions and Enzymes

3. when an enzyme is changed in shape due to a change in temperature or pH
7. when the enzyme and the substrate bind to change from substrate to product
9. the elements or compounds that enter into a chemical reaction
12. the elements or compounds that are made by a chemical reaction
13. the substance that the enzyme helps to react. They are substrate specific and can be reused.
14. the energy needed by the reactants in order to start a reaction. It is required to break bonds in the reactant molecules.

1. a type of protein that helps speed up chemical reactions. They are specific for just one reaction.
2. when an enzyme and substrate create a reaction that breaks the substrate into multiple products.
4. when an enzyme and substrate create a reaction that makes one single product.
5. is a process that changes one set of molecules into a new set of substances. It occurs when chemical bonds between atoms are broken or formed.
6. when an enzyme changes shape
8. a chemical or biological molecule that regulates chemical reactions by slowing down or blocking them from happening
10. inhibitors a substance that blocks the active site, preventing the enzyme from binding to its substrate
11. the region of an enzyme to which the substrate binds. (the pocket)
