Endergonic Reactions
Reactons that give off energy as a result of chemical processes are known as _________ Reactions
exergonic reactions
________ _________ are reactions that are linked, with the liberation of free energy in one reactoin being used to “drive” a second reaction

________ speed reactons by decreasing activation energy.
Enzymes
The _____ and _____ model of enzyme action:
- substrates A & B approaches the active sites on the enzyme.
- Substrates fit into the active sites, forming enzyme-substrate complex.
- The enzyme relaseses the products C and D
