  1. 6. organic molecules such as vitamins and NAD+. Organic cofactors
  2. 7. fit describes a flexible active site that changes shape, or conforms, to the substrate as they bond together.
  3. 9. is the sum of all the chemical reactions occurring in that cell.
  4. 10. other molecules, called inhibitors, inhibit the activity of enzymes. That is, they reduce or stop the enzyme from functioning. Reducing enzyme activity also reduces the reaction rate.
  5. 11. are the molecules formed as a result of a chemical reaction, which are produced from reactants.
  6. 12. is the process of breaking down large molecules into smaller ones. As the bonds break, free energy is released.
Down
  1. 1. is one that absorbs free energy from the surroundings.
  2. 2. and key describes the active site as having a set shape
  3. 3. is one that has a net release of free energy.
  4. 4. are the starting molecules that undergo a chemical reaction, which are converted into products.
  5. 5. is the process of making large molecules from smaller ones. Free energy is absorbed from the surroundings to build new chemical bonds
  6. 8. the energy required to start any reaction
