Enzymes

The area that the substrate fits into on the enzyme is called the:

• Active Site
• Allosteric Site
• DiSulphide Bridge
• β-Pleated Sheet

Enzymes catalyze reactions by ___________ Activation Energy.

• Increasing
• Decreasing

Changes in pH and temperature can ___________________ an enzyme which causes it to lose its shape and affects its function.

• puncture

• denature

• double

• delete

What is the purpose of an enzyme?

• control how many reactions occur

• raise activation energy

• give permission for the reaction

• speed up chemical reactions
