Enzymes, Protein molecules that cause chemical reactions to speed up, Substrate , The molecule that the enzyme joins with or acts upon, Active Site, The area of the substrate to which the enzyme joins, Enzyme-Substrate Complex, when the enzyme and the substrate are bound together, Catabolism, reactions that break down large macromolecules into monomers, Anabolism, Reactions that build macromolecules out of monomers, Exergonic Reactions, Reactions that release free energy, Endergonic Reactions, Reactions that require free energy to occur, Free Energy, Energy that is available to do work, Dehydration synthesis, is an anabolic chemical reaction that form covalent bonds between monomers, Hydrolysis, Is a catabolic reaction that breaks the covalent bonds in polymers producing monomers, Induced Fit, When the substrate binds with the enzyme the enzyme changes shape and surrounds the substrate, Activation Energy, the energy required to make a reaction occur., Amylase, enzyme that breaks down starch, Pepsin, enzyme that breaks down proteins, Optimal conditions, the conditions where an enzyme works the best, Increase in temperature, causes increased collisions between the substrate and the enzyme. It will increase the rate of reaction to a point., Denatured enzymes, The shape of the enzyme has be altered, it cannot interact with the substrate, cofactors, non-protein, small inorganic compounds and ions that bound with enzymes to help the enzyme, coenzymes, non-protein, organic molecules that bind near the active site and assist reactions., competitive inhibition, Inhibitor binds to the enzyme's active site and inhibits the enzyme, Non-competitive inhibition, Inhibitor binds to the enzyme causes the enzyme to change shape and inhibits the enzyme.
