endocytosis   the process of moving materials outside of the cell to the inside  
🗑
phagocytosis   a type of endocytosis where a quantity of material is engulfed by the membrane and then pinched of to form a vesicle  
🗑
receptor mediated   similar to phagocytosis receptors capture a specific type of molecule and then follow the process of phagoctyosis

enzyme   a type of protein that accelerates ( catalyzes) chemical reactions  
🗑
activation energy   the barrier or cost of energy to make a chemical reaction  
🗑
substrate   the specific type of molecule that an enzyme bonds to while catalyzing  
🗑
active site   the part of the substrate that the enzyme attaches to  
🗑
induced fit   the natural shape of an enzyme connecting to a substrate  
🗑
competitive inhibitor   a molecule that binds to an enzyme that is not a substrate, making the enzyme functionless

the cholesterol in animals cells is used for what   for rigidity and storage  
🗑
what drug would you suggest as a productive avenue for drug development   one that inhibits the production of a negative protein  
🗑
what can you conclude form the fact that certain anti-inflammatories prevent the natural reactions in the blood stream   they inhibit enzymes they are not supposed to

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
