Energy Flow

2. Substance that is changed during a chemical reaction.
4. Type of consumer that gets energy/nutrients from dead matter
7. (Usually a protein) that speeds up a biochemical reaction by lowering its activation eneratalyst
11. Type of consumer that gets energy from eating meat
12. An energy-carrying molecule that carries/stores energy for cell functions; the main energy currency for the cell
14. When an enzyme’s active site loses its specific shape, causing a loss in biological activity
15. A reaction that overall releases more energy (in the form of heat or light) than it absorbs.
18. A reaction that overall absorbs more energy (in the form of heat or light) than it releases.
19. Substances that speed up reactions without being permanently altered.
20. Heterotroph; gets energy from living or once-living sources

1. The amount of energy needed to make a chemical reaction start.
3. Type of consumer that gets energy from eating vegetation
5. Substance that is made during a chemical reaction.
6. Type of consumer that gets energy from eating meat and vegetation
8. Reactions that build larger molecules from smaller ones.
9. Location on an enzyme where the substrate binds.
10. Autotroph; gets energy from nonliving sources like the sun
13. Reactions break down larger molecules into simpler compounds.
16. All of the chemical reactions within each cell of an organism.
17. The breaking and forming of bonds between different substances during chemical changes.
