• enzyme

• lipid

A denatured protein is one...

(Check all that apply)

• whose shape has changed due to the effects of temperature or pH

• which is broken down into its building blocks

• which may no longer function

• which is combined with other proteins to make a peptide

The active site of an enzyme is the region that...

(Check all that apply)

• changes after the chemical reaction is completed

• can bind to any substrate

• binds to a specific substrate

• may change due to denaturing

Object C in this image is know as the

• enzyme

• substrate

• enzyme-substrate complex

• product

One enzyme molecule can catalyze many substrate molecules because

• more enzyme molecules are created during the reaction

• the enzyme molecule is not used up during the reaction

• the enzyme breaks apart and then reforms after the reaction

• none of the above
