Microbial Metabolism

3. Organisms that obtain energy from light.
4. Chemical reactions that break down complex molecules.
6. A molecule that specifically binds to the active site of an enzyme.
9. Organisms that utilize organic molecules to obtain energy.
10. Enzyme bounded with either cofactor or coenzyme.
12. Synthesize complex molecules.
13. Enzyme with neither cofactor nor coenzyme bounded.
14. A type of inhibitor that regulates enzymatic reaction by preventing the binding of substrate to the active site of an enzyme.

1. Inorganic ions that maintain the stable conformation of enzyme and its function.
2. Organisms obtain their energy from chemical compounds.
5. Uses inorganic molecules for energy production.
7. An organic molecule that is usually derived from vitamins that aid in normal enzymatic reaction.
8. An inhibitor causing a change in the conformation of the enzyme and alters its functionality.
11. Biological catalyst that increases the rate of chemical reactions within the cell.
13. Energy currency of the cell.
