SLS Bio12 Enzyme ac

TermDefinition
activation energy energy that must be added to get a reaction started, which is recovered as the reaction proceeds
biochemical reaction Chemical reactions taking plce in biological systems - animals and plants
coenzyme nonprotein organic molecule that aids the action of the enzyme to which it is loosely bound
competitive inhibitor binding of the inhibitor to the active site on the enzyme prevents binding of the substrate
enzyme large biological molecules responsible for the thousands of metabolic processes that sustain life.
enzyme activity measure of the quantity of active enzyme present and is thus dependent on conditions - Enzyme activity = moles of substrate converted per unit time = rate × reaction volume
enzyme concentration how much enzyme you have in a given amount of solution
heavy metal A metal of relatively high density
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 set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms
non-competitve inhibitor 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.
pH measure of the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution
substrate concentration concentration of the molecules an enzyme works on.
thyroid controls how quickly the body uses energy, makes proteins, and controls how sensitive the body is to other hormones
thyroxin responsible for regulation of metabolism
vitamins is an organic compound required by an organism as a vital nutrient in limited amounts.

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.
