- 21. the specific region of an enzyme where a substrate binds and catalysis takes place or where chemical reaction occurs
- 23. Reactions that have a negative change in free energy and consequently release free energy
- 24. a biochemical process in metabolism where the simple molecules combine to generate complex molecules
- 25. a group of substances that are needed for normal cell function, growth, and development

Down
- 1. any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron
- 2. a series of connected chemical reactions that feed one another
- 4. a measure of randomness or disorder in a system
- 5. they can be added together to give an overall reaction
- 7. a measure of energy that is available to do work
- 10. The substances which participate in a chemical reaction
- 12. a reaction that requires energy to be absorbed in order for it to take place
- 13. an organic molecule that binds to the active sites of certain enzymes to assist in the catalysis of a reaction
- 14. model proposing that the binding of a substrate or some other molecule to an enzyme causes a change in the shape of the enzyme so as to enhance or inhibit its activity
- 15. the chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy
- 16. catalytically active RNA molecules or RNA–protein complexes, in which solely the RNA provides catalytic activity
