Enzymes!!
Across
- 2. absorbs free energy from the surroundings
- 5. sum of all the chemical reactions occuring in a cell
- 8. energy required to start any reaction
- 10. a flexible active site that changes shape and conforms to the substrate as they bond together
- 11. reactants with more stored energy than the products of the reaction
- 12. describes the active site as having a set shape
Down
- 1. have products with more stored energy than the reactants of the reaction
- 3. reaction that has a net release of free energy
- 4. substrates in a catalysed reaction that has a specific 3d shape that are compatible with their substrate(s)
- 6. non-protein organic molecule that binds with an enzyme to activate it and facilitate biochemical reactions
- 7. the end substance from a specific reaction
- 9. reduce or stop the enzyme from functioning
