Answer 6

the original input of energy necessary to initiate a reaction

Question 7

active site

Answer 7

a portion of the enzyme that binds itself to the substrate

Question 8

enzyme

Answer 8

a biological catalyst that accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being affected by the reaction

Question 9

optimal conditions for enzymes to function?

Answer 9

a pH balance between 6-8 and a temp of 37 degrees C

Question 10

effect of pH and temp on the function of enzymes?

Answer 10

once above a certain temp the enzyme of the substance is impeded, and the pH does the same when not within the levels of 8-6.
