Across
- 2. Reactants; Needed in order to make a product
- 6. Heavy metals; Bonds with part of the enzyme and causes them to change shape
- 9. The substrate(s) fit perfectly into the active site
- 10. Refers to all chemical reactions of a cell
- 11. Considered the non-protein portion;
- 12. The substance that forms as a result of a reaction
- 14. The process of proteins losing their structure, causing function to decrease; Happens in extreme state
- 16. Enzyme "helper"; An example of a coenzyme
Down
- 1. Where the substrates bind and undergo a chemical reaction
- 3. Considered the protein portion; Its shape helps an enzyme speed up only one type of reaction
- 4. Causes two reactants to collide with enough force that they react to release energy in order to drive the rest of the reaction
- 5. Produces thyroxin; Helps increase metabolic rate
- 7. Fits into the active site but doesn't react
- 8. A protein that speeds up certain reactions
- 13. Considered the "newer model"; Enzyme has the ability to alter its shape to help the substrate(s) fit better
- 15. Produced by thyroid gland; Is a hormone
