Enzymes
Across
- 5. A measure of how fast an enzyme-catalyzed reaction proceeds under specific conditions.
- 6. The substrate concentration that reflects enzyme affinity and helps predict reaction behavior.
- 8. Describes reactions that proceed in either direction depending on substrate and product concentrations.
- 11. Describes reactions that proceed in only one direction due to large energy changes.
- 12. An enzyme moves a methyl or amino group from one molecule to another during metabolism.
- 13. A state in which increasing substrate concentration no longer increases reaction rate.
- 14. A molecule is rearranged into a different structural form without changing its chemical formula.
Down
- 1. Two molecules are joined together in a reaction that requires energy from ATP hydrolysis.
- 2. Regulation of enzyme activity, usually through the addition of a phosphate group.
- 3. Regulation in which a molecule binds somewhere other than the active site.
- 4. A digestive enzyme breaks a bond using water to help absorb nutrients.
- 5. The maximum rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction when all active sites are occupied.
- 7. Increased synthesis of enzymes, often influenced by hormones.
- 9. Enzymes that catalyze oxidation–reduction reactions.
- 10. A reaction breaks a carbon–carbon bond without using water or energy from ATP.
