Type of reaction that requires energy.

• anabolic

• catabolic

When an intermediate compound in a reaction can be converted back into the intermediate it was produced from.

• End product Inhibition

• Negative feedback control

• Alternative route

• A reversible step

Which type of inhibition involves an early enzyme in a metabolic pathway being inhibited?

• End product

• competitive

• non-competitive

• No type

The diagram below shows a metabolic pathway that is controlled by end product inhibition. For Substance 4 to bring about end product inhibition, with which of the following would it interact?

• Substance 1

• Substance 3

• Enzyme 1

• Enzyme 3

When steps in a metabolic pathway are bypassed (think fast track) but still reach the same end product.

• End product Inhibition

• Negative feedback control

• Alternative route

• A reversible step

The change in shape of the active site of an enzyme, when its substrate binds, is called...

• specificity

• induced fit

• activation

• inhibition

This is high between active site and substrate and low between active site and product

• orientation

• activation energy

• induced fit

• affinity
