- 3. Location on an enzyme where the substrate binds.
- 6. Substrate; Substance that is changed during a chemical reaction.
- 7. The breaking and forming of bonds between different substances during chemical changes.
- 9. An energy-carrying molecule that carries/stores energy for cell functions; the main energy currency for the cell
- 11. Reactions that break down larger molecules into simpler compounds.
- 12. Reactions that build larger molecules from smaller ones.
- 13. A reaction that overall absorbs more energy (in the form of heat or light) than it releases.
- 14. A reaction that overall releases more energy (in the form of heat or light) than it absorbs.
Down
- 1. (Usually a protein) that speeds up a biochemical reaction by lowering its activation energy.
- 2. When an enzyme’s active site loses its specific shape, causing a loss in biological activity
- 4. All of the chemical reactions within each cell of an organism.
- 5. The amount of energy needed to make a chemical reaction start.
- 8. Substances that speed up reactions without being permanently altered.
- 10. Substance that is made during a chemical reaction.
