factors that effect enzymes 3B

Question 1

optimal range

Answer 1

point at which a given condition the maximum function of an enzyme occurs

Question 2

denature

Answer 2

disruption of a molecules structure by an external factors such as heat

Question 3

saturation point

Answer 3

point at which substances cannot receive more of another substance

Question 4

competitive inhabitation

Answer 4

molecule that competes with substrate to get to the enzymes active site first.

Question 5

non-competitive inhabitation

Answer 5

molecule that binds to enzymes allosetic site, changes shape of active site and substrate can’t bind to the enzyme. (they aren’t complementary)

Question 6

reversible inhabitation

Answer 6

enzyme inhibition that involves weaker bonds that be overcome

Question 7

irreversible inhibition

Answer 7

enzyme inhibition that involves stronger bonds that cannot be broken

Question 8

coenzyme

Answer 8

organic co factor that assists enzyme function

Question 9

ATP

Answer 9

adenosine triphosphate, high energy molecule when broken down provides energy.

Question 10

ADP

Answer 10

adenosine diphosphate, the unloaded form of ATP
