Substrate, Product, Pathway, Product Feedback (Section 2) Flashcards
1
Q
Substrate
A
a molecule an enzyme can bind with to catalyze a reaction (i.e. lactose, casein).
Fits into “active site” of an enzyme like a puzzle piece
2
Q
Product
A
a compound produced by the cells and is excreted to the extracellular medium
3
Q
Pathway
A
a series of steps found in biochemical reactions that help convert molecules or substrates (like sugar) into different, more readily usable materials
4
