Front

saturated fats

Back

Contain all single bonds between carbon molecules, solid at room temperature

Front

unsaturated fats

Back

contains a double bond between carbon molecules which gives it a bent shape liquid at room temperature

Front

enzymes

Back

is a molecule that speeds up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy

Front

products

Back

the chemicals made by the reaction

Front

denature

Back

to lose its shape

Front

active site

Back

this is the location where the enzymes and the substrate bind, all enzymes have a active site

Front

substrate

Back

are the reactants of the enzymes catalyzed reaction (what the enzymes works on

Front

catalyst

Back

are proteins that act as a biological catalyst

Front

reactants

Back

the chemicals entering the reaction

Front

Enzyme - substrate complex

Back

is what happens after the substrate enters that active site
