Enzymes, Metabolism, Cellular respiration Flashcards
Factors that affect enzyme activity
- Concentration
- Substrate concentration
- Products of reaction must be continually removed
- Temperature
- pH
Metabolism
All the chemical reactions occurring in a living organism.
Catabolism
Chemical reactions that break down large organic molecules into smaller ones, with the release of energy.
Anabolism
The process of combining small molecules to make larger ones: it requires energy; also known as synthesis.
