SLS Bio12 Enzyme NS

QuestionAnswer
Activation Energy the minimum quantity of energy that the reacting species must possess in order to undergo a specified reaction.
Biochemical Reaction a biochemical reaction is the transformation of one molecule to a different molecule inside a cell. Biochemical reactions are mediated by enzymes, which are biological catalysts that can alter the rate and specificity of chemical reactions inside cells.
Coenzyme a nonprotein compound that is necessary for the functioning of 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 a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction.
Enzyme Activity A measure of the ability of an enzyme to catalyze a specific reaction.
Enzyme Concentration enzyme concentration is the number of enzymes in an environment of substrates
Heavy Metal A metal of relatively high density
Induced Fit Model It postulates that exposure of an enzyme to a substrate causes the active site of the enzyme to change shape in order to allow the enzyme and substrate to bind
Metabolism the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life.
Non-Competitive Inhibitor 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.
PH the measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution
Substrate a substance or layer that underlies something, or on which some process occurs, in particular.
Substrate Concentration the number of substrate molecules in a solution. It is one of the factors that affects the rate of reactions
Vitamins required in trace amounts for normal growth and metabolic processes. They usually serve as components of coenzyme systems.

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.
