SLS Bio12 Enzyme Abby

TermDefinition
activation energy the energy required for a reaction to occur
biochemical reactions this is a process where two or more enzymes react with each other usually with the help of an enzyme
coenzyme a molecule that provides the transfer site for biochemical reactions catalyzed by an enzyme.
competitive inhibitor Competitive inhibition is a form of enzyme inhibition where binding of the inhibitor to the active site on the enzyme prevents binding of the substrate and vice versa
enzyme Enzymes are complex proteins that cause a specific chemical change in all parts of the body.
enzyme concentration enzyme concentration is the amount of enzyme you can have in a solution
enzyme activity the catalytic effect exerted by an enzyme, expressed as units per milligram of enzyme or as molecules of substrate transformed per minute per molecule of enzyme
heavy metal metal with a high specific gravity, typically larger than 5; e.g., fe, co, cu, Mn, mo, zn, v.
induced fit model 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.
metabolism the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life.
non competitive inhibitor Non-competitive inhibition is a type of enzyme inhibition where the inhibitor reduces the activity of the enzyme and binds equally well to the enzyme whether or not it has already bound the substrate
substarte A substrate is the medium in which a chemical reaction takes place or the reagent in a reaction that provides a surface for absorption.
substrate concentration substrate concentration is the concentration of the molecules an enzyme works on.
thyroid a large ductless gland in the neck that secretes hormones regulating growth and development through the rate of metabolism.
thyroxin the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland, acting to increase metabolic rate and so regulating growth and development.
vitamin any of a group of organic compounds that are essential for normal growth and nutrition and are required in small quantities in the diet because they cannot be synthesized by the body.
ph A measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, numerically equal to 7 for neutral solutions, increasing with increasing alkalinity and decreasing with increasing acidity. The pH scale commonly in use ranges from 0 to 14.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
