Enzymes

3. energy the energy needed to give the starting "push" for a chemical reaction
6. site the part of the enzyme where the substrate binds
9. the elements or compounds that enter into a chemical reaction
10. another term used to describe the graph of an endergonic reaction
12. enzymes are considered which type of macromolecule?
14. the optimum is 37 degrees C
16. functions best at a pH of 2 because it's found in the stomach
17. molecules that speed up the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy
19. the enzyme that is responsible for breaking down lactose

1. the "key" that fits specifically to one enzyme
2. the enzyme that breaks down lipids
3. the name of the site on an enzyme other than the active site
4. an inhibitor that binds somewhere else on the enzyme and changes the shape of the active site
5. another term used to describe the graph of an exergonic reaction
7. a chemical reaction that requires an input of energy
8. if the temperature increases too much and the protein/enzyme falls apart
11. the elements or compounds that are produced from a chemical reaction
13. a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of heat
15. an inhibitor that sits in the active site and doesn't allow the substrate to bind
18. an enzyme found in the mouth that breaks down carbohydrates
