| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Oxidation and reduction reactions are chemical processes that result in a gain or loss in | electrons |
| reactions that occur spontaneously and release free energy are called _ reactions | exergonic |
| Protein catalysts that speed up the various metabolic biological reaction in an organism are called | enzymes |
| Enzymes have specific _ with which they interact | substrates |
| the chief energy currency of all cells is a molecule called | ATP |
| Reactions that do not proceed spontaneously because they require energy from an outside source are called | endergonic |
| enzymes catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the | activation energy |
| RNA molecules that have been recently reported to act also as enzymes are given the name | ribozymes |
| in an enzyme catalyzed reaction the reactant is called the | substrate |
| at the conclusion of an enzyme catalyzed reaction, the enzyme | frees itself from the product and is ready to be reused |
| ATP gives up energy when it is converted to | ADP and phosphate |
| the temperature is raised slightly above the optimum for a specific enzyme. what would you expect to observe as a result of the change in temperature | decreased enzyme activity |
