Enzymes contain a(n) ___ where reactants can bond to react with each other.

• active site

• reaction site

• substrate site

• be broken down.

• be stored in the cell until it is needed again.

• be used to help different reactants go through a reaction.

Compare the two pathways, which pathway shows the reaction that has taken place with the help of an enzyme?

• Pathway 1

• Pathway 2

• You cannot tell from these graphs.

• Both reactions involved an enzyme.

At the end of this reaction, has energy been released or absorbed?

• Absorbed

• Released

• There is not enough information to tell.

• There is not change in the amount of energy in the system.
