|
Substrate |
The substance that the enzyme acts on |
|
|
Active site |
The location on the enzyme where the substrate fits into |
|
|
Enzyme |
biological catalyst which acts on a substrate(s) |
|
|
Enzyme-substrate complex |
Formed when a substrate(s) is/are bound onto an enzyme |
|
|
Coenzyme |
Organic molecule that is required by certain enzymes to carry out their function |
|
|
Cofactor |
Inorganic molecule that is required by certain enzymes to carry out their function |
|
|
Product(s) |
Are produced from a substrate(s) by the work of an enzyme |
|
|
Activation Energy |
The energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur |
|
|
Metabolism |
The sum of all of the chemical reactions that occur within a cell |
|
|
Lock & Key Model |
Model of how an enzyme works that states a substrate(s) must fit perfectly into the active site of an enzyme for it to be worked on. |
|
|
Induced fit Model |
Model of how an enzyme works that states an enzyme may flex to fit a substrate into its active site so that it can work on the substrate. |
