​ (a)   is a process by which a chemical agent called a catalyst selectively increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction. ​

• Catalysis
• Substrate
• Cofactor
• Coenzyme
• Enzyme

Match the following vocabular words and definitions.

• Noncompetitive inhibitor

• In cellular metabolism, the use of energy released from an exergonic reaction to drive an endergonic reaction.

• Induced fit

• A substance that reduces the activity of an enzyme by binding to a location remote from the active site, changing the enzyme's shape so that the active site no longer effectively catalyzes the conversion of substrate to product.

• Competitive inhibitor

• A substance that reduces the activity of an enzyme by entering the active site in place of the substrate, whose structure it mimics.

• Energy coupling

• A molecule with a phosphate group covalently bound to it, making it more reactive than the unphosphorylated molecule.

• Phosphorylated intermediate

• Caused by entry of the substrate, the change in shape of the active site of an enzyme so that it binds more snugly to the substrate.

A temporary complex formed when an enzyme binds to its substrate molecule(s).

• Activation energy

• Enzyme substrate complex

• Active site

• Adenosine triphosphate

An adenine-containing nucleoside triphosphate that releases free energy when its phosphate bonds are hydrolyzed. This energy is used to drive endergonic reactions in cells.

• Catalysis

• Adenosine diphosphate

• Adenosine triphosphate

• Phosphorylated intermediate

• A nonspontaneous chemical reaction in which free energy is absorbed from the surroundings

• Endergonic reaction

• A series of chemical reactions that either builds a complex molecule or breaks down a complex molecule to simpler molecules

• Metabolic pathway

• A metabolic pathway that consumes energy to synthesize a complex molecule from simpler molecules

• Anabolic pathway

• A spontaneous chemical reaction in which there is a net release of free energy
