Unit 5 Enzymatic Activity
Across
- 5. The part of the enzyme’s active site where the chemical reaction actually happens.
- 7. The idea that each enzyme only catalyzes one type of chemical reaction.Competitive
- 10. Inhibition where the inhibitor binds to another site on the enzyme and reduces its activity.
- 12. A change in the shape of an enzyme (usually caused by heat or pH) that makes it stop working properly.
- 14. The idea that each enzyme can only bind to a particular substrate.
- 16. Site on an enzyme where a regulator binds, away from the active site.
- 17. All the chemical reactions that happen in the cells of a living organism to keep it alive and functioning.
Down
- 1. The part of the enzyme’s active site where the substrate attaches.
- 2. A substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
- 3. The substance that an enzyme acts on during a chemical reaction.
- 4. A protein that speeds up (catalyzes) a chemical reaction in the body without being used up.
- 6. A starting substance in a chemical reaction.
- 8. A process where substances (reactants) are changed into new substances (products).
- 9. The specific part of the enzyme where the substrate binds and the reaction takes place.
- 11. Inhibition where the inhibitor competes with the substrate for the enzyme’s active site.
- 13. A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being changed itself — enzymes are biological catalysts.
- 15. Inhibition where the final product of a pathway stops an earlier reaction.
