Front

What is an enzyme?

Back

A protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up chemical reactions.

Front

What is activation energy?

Back

The minimum energy required for a chemical reaction to occur.

Front

How do temperature changes affect enzyme activity?

Back

Increased temperature can increase activity up to a point, after which it may denature the enzyme.

Front

What is the role of enzymes in metabolic pathways?

Back

Enzymes facilitate and regulate the biochemical reactions in metabolic pathways.

Front

What is the significance of the active site of an enzyme?

Back

The active site is where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.
