Definition
| The reactant molecules that use enzymes as a catalyst |

|
Term
|
Definition
| After the initial synthesis of the holoenzyme, it is trasported outside of the cell where it proceeds to break down (hydrolyze) large food particles or harmful chemicals. |

Term
|
Definition
| These enzymes remain in the cell and perform their function there. Most enzymes on the metabolic pathway are of this variety. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| These are always present and in relatively constant amounts regardless of the amount of substrate. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The production of these enzymes are either induced or repressed depending on the concentration of the substrate. |
