Across
- 4. Variable that restricts the rate of an enzyme‑controlled reaction
- 6. Levelling off of reaction rate due to limiting conditions
- 8. Molecule that reduces enzyme activity by binding to it
- 10. Permanent change in an enzyme’s shape that stops it from functioning
- 12. Enzyme binding site that is separate from the active site
- 13. Enzyme inhibition caused by a molecule binding to the active site
- 15. Substance that increases reaction rate by lowering activation energy and without being consumed
- 16. Reactant molecule that binds to an enzyme and is changed during the reaction
- 17. Protein that acts as a biological catalyst by lowering activation energy
Down
- 1. Molecule that binds to an enzyme’s allosteric site to reduce activity
- 2. Specific region of an enzyme where the substrate binds
- 3. Sequence of enzyme‑controlled reactions where each product becomes the next substrate
- 5. Metabolic reactions that break down large molecules into smaller components
- 7. Minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to begin
- 9. Type of metabolic reaction that builds complex molecules using energy
- 11. Organic molecule required to assist enzyme function
- 14. Conditions at which an enzyme works most efficiently
- 16. Point where increasing substrate concentration no longer increases reaction rate
