Q

Every enzyme has an optimal blank at which it will work in the body. The exact value of this will depend upon where in the body that enzyme is functioning, values to far above or below optimal result in the denaturation of the enzyme.

Blank like mercury, and lead can cause the denaturation of enzymes
Heavy metals
26
Blank or chemical messengers, which help cells communicate with each other
Hormones
27
A organic, but non-proteins, substance (example, vitamin) which place a role in forming a functioning enzyme
Coenzyme
28
This word refers to the combination of all the chemical reactions that are occurring within an organism
Metabolism
29
Components of the body which detect changes in blood pressure
Baro receptors
30
Negative feedback, blank occurs when the increase in the product of an enzyme catalyzed reaction causes the rate of that reaction to slow by inhibiting the associated enzyme
Inhibition
31
The idea that the active site modifies its shape as it forms the enzyme substrate complex
Induced fit
32
The receptors for regulating body temperatures are located in this part of the brain
Hypothalamis
33
The enzyme maltase decomposes the sugar
Maltose
34
The blank energy is the amount of energy that is required to get a chemical reaction started
Activation
35
A solution with a higher blank, will provide a fast reaction rate than a solution with one that is lower
Concentration
36
Blanks feedback systems are very rare in humans, but are present in situations like childbirth and breastfeeding
Positive
37
Enzyme activity can be reduced when temperatures become to blank however, the situation can be reversed
Cold
38
This enzyme catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide
Catalase
39
This element is required for the production of thyroxin
Iodine
40
If your body temperature drops below normal, your brain may direct your body to start involuntarily muscle contractions, which make you start to blank
Shiver
41
Blood pressure blood pH and blood glucose levels are all part of blank feedback systems, where the correction of the level, which is out of range leads to a slowing, or seizing of the corrective measure
Negative
42
In order to function properly enzymes require an additional substance called a blank, which are typically inorganic ions made of metals
Co factor
43
Components of the body which detect temperature changes
Thermo receptors
44
The term metabolic blank refers to a sequence of enzyme, catalyze chemical reactions, which are all linked to each other
Pathway
45
Metabolic rate is controlled by the hormone thyroxine, which is produced by the blank gland
Thyroid
46
A word used to describe a substance which will combine with the active site of an enzyme during a reaction
Substrate
47
Enzymes are said to be blank, because each enzyme catalyzes only one type of reaction
Specific
48
In an enzyme, catalyzed reaction reaction rate will continue to increase with the addition of more substrate until all enzyme active sites are blank. The addition of more substrate beyond this point, will result in no increase in reaction rate.
Saturated
49
Lipid based hormones are composed of blank
Steroids
50
A biological catalyst is called a blank
Enzyme
