Across
  1. 4. What is left after the enzyme binds with the substrate
  2. 5. A molecule which speeds up a chemical reaction
  3. 8. The inhibitor can bind to the enzyme without preventing the substrate from binding, lowers the enzyme's efficiency
  4. 9. A region on an enzyme that binds to a protein or other substance during a reaction.
  5. 10. The inhibitor binds to the enzyme's active site and prevents the substrate from binding, stops the reaction from happening
  6. 12. Protein molecules that act as biological catalysts
  7. 13. Something which prevents an enzyme from working in the normal manner
  8. 14. The reaction product inhibits the enzyme activity
  9. 16. An enzyme inhibitor which does not prevent the enzyme from functioning properly permanently
  10. 19. The number of chemical conversions of the substrate molecules per second at a catalytic site for a given enzyme concentration
  11. 20. A process that uses the conditions of one component to regulate the function of the other. It is done to either increase or dampen the change in the system.
  12. 21. Operating outside of the cell
