| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Activation energy | the minimum energy which must be available to a chemical system with potential reactants to result in a chemical reaction. |
| biochemical reaction | he 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 | small molecules. They cannot by themselves catalyze a reaction but they can help enzymes to do so. |
| competitive inhibitor | a form of enzyme inhibition where binding of the inhibitor to the active site on the enzyme prevents binding of the substrate |
| enzyme | biological molecules (proteins) that act as catalysts and help complex reactions occur |
| enzyme concentration | the amount of enzyme in a reaction |
| heavy metals | high density, toxic in large amounts |
| induced fit model | Enzymes bind with substrates to keep all the necessary biochemical reactions in your body going at the proper pace. But each enzyme can only bind with one particular substrate. |
| metabolism | the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms. These enzyme-catalyzed reactions allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. |
| non-competative 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 | a measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral. |
| substrate | substrate is the chemical of interest that is being modified. an enzyme substrate is the material upon which an enzyme acts. |
| substrate concentration | the amount of substrate or reactant |
| thyroid | a large ductless gland in the neck that secretes hormones regulating growth and development through the rate of metabolism. |
| thyroxin | s a hormone sectreted by the thyroid gland, which is an endocrine gland in the human body |
| vitamins | an organic compound and a vital nutrient that an organism requires in limited amounts |
