Enzymes
Across
- 6. Environmental factor that causes denaturation if too high
- 8. Structure formed when a substrate is bound in an active site
- 9. A protease enzyme in the stomach with an acidic optimum pH
- 10. A biological catalyst that speeds up metabolic reactions
- 11. Energy that increases with heat, causing more collisions
- 12. One of the end products of lipid digestion alongside glycerol
- 14. Describes the exact matching shape between active site and substrate
- 16. A substance that speeds up a reaction without being consumed
- 18. Industrial source of enzymes or nutrient medium in fermenters
- 23. The building blocks that fold together to form enzyme proteins
- 24. The permanent change in active site shape at high temperatures
Down
- 1. The reactant that an enzyme binds to and acts upon
- 2. The simple sugar produced when maltase breaks down maltose
- 3. The sum of all chemical reactions occurring within a cell
- 4. The ideal temperature or pH where enzyme activity is highest
- 5. The group of biological molecules that enzymes belong to
- 7. An enzyme that converts maltose into glucose
- 8. Events where enzymes and substrates bump into each other
- 13. An enzyme that breaks down proteins into amino acids
- 15. Scale measuring acidity or alkalinity affecting enzyme shape
- 17. The specific region on an enzyme where the substrate binds
- 19. An enzyme that breaks down starch into maltose
- 20. The model describing how a substrate fits into a specific active site
- 21. The simple sugar produced when amylase breaks down starch
- 22. An enzyme that breaks down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol
