It is the energy all chemical reactions require to get them started

All the chemical processes/reactions which take place within the living body at cellular level are termed as biochemical reactions.These reactions usually occur with the help of enzymes.

A small molecule (not a protein but sometimes a vitamin) essential for the activity of some enzymes.A cofactor molecule that helps an enzyme catalyse a particular reaction by binding with it.

Competitive inhibitor

inhibitor that occupies the active site of an enzyme or the binding Site of a receptor and prevents the normal substrate or ligand from binding.

a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction.

A measure of the ability of an enzyme to catalyze a specific reaction.

The amount of enzymes in the body.

a metal of relatively high density, or of high relative atomic weight.

A model for enzyme-substrate interaction to describe that only the proper substrate is capable of inducing the proper alignment of the active site that will enable the enzyme to perform its catalytic function.

The process involving a set of chemical reactions that modifies a molecule into another for storage, or for immediate use in another reaction or as a by product.

Non-Competitive Inhibitor

An inhibitory effect on a metabolic function, such as an enzyme, not based on competition for the binding site of the naturally occurring substrate, but on a different effect on the molecule whose function is being inhibited.

it is a measure to determine the acidity or alkalinity of a solution or a substance.

is a molecule upon which an enzyme acts.

Substrate Concentration

is the concentration of the molecules an enzyme works on

a large ductless gland in the neck that secretes hormones regulating growth and development through the rate of metabolism

Hormone produced by the thyroid glands to regulate metabolism by controlling the rate of oxidation in cells;

any of a group of organic compounds that are essential for normal growth and nutrition and are required in small quantities in the diet
