|---|---|
| What is a reactant? | Reactants are the elements or compounds that enter into a chemical reaction. |
| What is a product? | Product are the elements or compounds that are produced by a chemical reaction. |
| If the reactants have less energy than the products, then energy is.... | Released aka Exothernmic Reaction. |
| If the reactants have less energy than the products, the energy is... | Absorbed aka Endothermic Reaction. |
| What is activation energy? | Activation energy is the energy needed to get a chemical reaction started. |
| Chemical reactions that release energy? | Spontaneously |
| Chemical reactions that absorb energy? | Will not occur without a source of energy. |
| What is a catalyst? | A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction. |
| How do enzymes speed up chemical reactions? | Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. |
| How do enzymes work? | Enzymes work by creating an ideal environment for the reaction to take place. |
| `What is a enzyme-substrate complex? | A enzyme- substrate complex is when to substrates come together with a enzyme and get transformed into a different product. |
