SLS Bio 12 Enzyme (AI)
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Activation Energy | Energy required for a reaction to occur |
| Biochemical Reaction | process in which two or more molecules react with the help of an enzyme |
| Coenzyme | nonprotein organic molecule that aids the enzyme to which it is bonded |
| Competitive Inhibitor | inhibitor binds to active site of enzyme, preventing substrate from binding |
| Enzyme | Organic catalyst speeds up cell reactions |
| Enzyme Activity | Catalytic effect exerted by a particular enzyme |
| Enzyme Concentration | Affects the rate of product formation during an enzyme reaction |
| Heavy Metal | inhibitors to enzymes because they change the electron formation of enzymes |
| Induced Fit Model | change in shape of enzymes active site once substrate has binded |
| Metabolism | Chemical changes occur in a cell helped by enzymes |
| Non-competitive Inhbitor | binds to allosteric site of enzyme, altering shape of active site so enzyme cannot bind |
| pH | measurement of amount of hydrogen ions in a solution |
| Substrate | binds to enzyme during reaction |
| Substrate Concentration | amount of substrate in a solution where enzyme activity occurs |
| Thyroid | produces thyroxin located in neck |
| Thyroxin | hormone which accelerates cell metabolism |
| Vitamins | assist enzyme functions in cells |
