Across
- 4. ********* reaction; a chemical reaction that releases free energy.
- 6. a molecule upon which an enzyme acts.
- 7. *********** inhibition; inhibitor competes with substrate for binding to an active site
- 9. ******* energy; energy an object possesses due to its motion.
- 11. ************** inhibition; an inhibitor binding to an allosteric site resulting in decreased efficacy of the enzyme.
- 12. ******* fit; the active site of an enzyme will undergo a conformational change when binding a substrate, to improve the fit.
- 15. ********** energy; the energy needed for a reaction to occur.
- 16. ********* pathway; a series of chemical reactions occurring within a cell
- 17. the ability to do work; capacity to cause change.
Down
- 1. biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions.
- 2. ******** pathway; pathways build complex molecules from simpler ones and typically need an input of energy.
- 3. ********inhibition; a cellular control mechanism in which an enzyme's activity is inhibited by the enzyme's end product.
- 5. ********* energy; energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects.
- 8. the study of energy transformations
- 10. ********** reaction; a chemical reaction that requires free energy to proceed.
- 13. ********* pathway; pathways breakdown complex molecules into simpler ones and typically release energy.
- 14. ********** regulation; the regulation of an enzyme by binding an effector molecule at a site other than the enzyme's active site.
- 15. ****** site; the region of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.
