• reducing the activation energy
• increasing the temperature of the cell
• increasing the concentration of reactants 

Where do substrates bind on an enzyme?

• voltage-gated channels
• surface receptor
• calcium channels
• active site

The current model of enzyme action is referred to as the:

• Induced Fit Model
• Lock & Key Model
• Singer-Nicolson Model
• Davson-Danielli Model

At high temperatures enzyme activity declines because of:

• Denaturation
• Decreased Kinetic Motion
• Increased H-Bonding
• Dissociation of Ionic Compounds

At low temperatures enzyme activity declines because of:

• Denaturation
• Decreased Kinetic Motion
• Increased H-Bonding
• Dissociation of Ionic Compounds

Most enzymes have the ending:

• -ase
• -ose
• -ic acid
• -ate

The molecule an enzyme is working on is called the:

• Substrate
• Solvent
• Allosteric Inhibitor
• CoEnzyme

Which explanation best fits the graph for pH's effect on an enzyme?

• As the pH gets closer to neutral more H-Bonds are broken
• Larger numbers of H+ & OH- ions distort the active site
• There are more collisions between substrates and active sites near the optimal pH
• Low pHs cause more H-Bonds to happen near the active site
