Across
- 4. The metabolic process of breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones.
- 5. The point where all active sites are occupied and reaction rate levels off.
- 7. The specific region on the surface of an enzyme where the substrate binds.
- 11. The model where an active site changes shape slightly to bind a substrate.
- 12. A factor where deviations from the optimum can break ionic bonds in enzymes.
- 13. The web of all enzyme-catalyzed reactions in a cell or organism.
- 14. A structural change in an enzyme that destroys the active site.
Down
- 1. The metabolic process of building complex molecules from simpler ones.
- 2. A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed.
- 3. The reactant that an enzyme acts upon during a chemical reaction.
- 6. The energy required to start a chemical reaction which enzymes work to lower.
- 8. The event where a substrate molecule happens to strike the active site.
- 9. The property of enzymes where they only catalyze one particular reaction.
- 10. A factor where increases provide more kinetic energy until a peak is reached.
- 15. A globular protein that functions as a biological catalyst.
