active site - binding site for specific substrate, enzyme specificity - enzyme active site being complementary in shape to a specific substrate, activation energy - minimum amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur, substrate - molecule complementary in shape to active site of enzyme, catabolism - The metabolic process in which large, complex molecules are broken down into smaller, simpler molecules, releasing energy, anabolism - The metabolic process in which small, simple molecules are built up into larger, more complex molecules, requiring energy, enzyme-substrate complex - A temporary structure formed when a substrate molecule binds to the active site of an enzyme during a chemical reaction., product - The substance(s) formed as a result of a chemical reaction, such as the molecules released after an enzyme acts on a substrate., optimum temperature - The specific temperature at which an enzyme-catalyzed reaction proceeds at its maximum rate; above or below this temperature, the enzyme activity decreases., enzyme - A biological catalyst, usually a protein, that speeds up the rate of chemical reactions in living organisms without being consumed in the process,
