Across
- 1. A macromolecule serving as a catalyst
- 5. The capacity to cause change, especially to do work
- 6. A chemical agent that selectively increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction.
- 9. The reactant on which an enzyme works
- 12. The specific region of an enzyme that binds the substrate and that forms the pocket in which catalysis occurs.
- 14. The energy that matter possesses as a result of its location or spatial arrangement
Down
- 2. A substance that reduces the activity of an enzyme by binding to a location remote from the active site
- 3. A measure of molecular disorder, or randomness.
- 4. Any nonprotein molecule or ion that is required for the proper functioning of an enzyme
- 7. A process that occurs without an overall input of energy; a process that is energetically favorable.
- 8. the change in shape of the active site of an enzyme so that it binds more snugly to the substrate.
- 10. energy The amount of energy that reactants must absorb before a chemical reaction will start
- 11. Thermal energy in transfer from one body of matter to another.
- 13. An adenine-containing nucleoside triphosphate that releases free energy when its phosphate bonds are hydrolyzed
