Term | Definition |
activation energy | the minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction occur |
biochemical reaction | a transformation of a molecule into a different molecule with the help of an enzyme |
coenzyme | a nonprotein compound that assists the enzyme |
competitive inhibitor | fills the active site so the substrate can not bind to the enzyme |
enzyme | a catalyst that speeds up a reaction by lowering the activation energy |
enzyme activity | the process of an enzyme catalyzing a reaction |
enzyme concentration | the amount of an enzyme in a reaction |
heavy metal | a metal with a high density that can denature an enzyme |
induced fit model | the enzyme changing shape slightly to fit the substrate perfectly |
metabolism | any chemical process in a living organism that is needed for life |
non-competitive inhibitor | fills the allosteric site and changes the shape of the enzyme so the substrate cannot bind |
pH | a scale to measure acidity or basicity |
substrate | the reactants in a enzyme catalyzed reaction that binds to the active site |
substrate concentration | the amount of reactant available in the reaction |
thyroid | large gland that secretes hormones to regulate growth and development |
