Term
metabolic pathways
Definition
enzyme controlled sequence of chemical reactions in a cell
Term
anabolic
Definition
metabolic pathways that consume energy in synthesis of complex molecules
Term
catabolic
Definition
metabolic activity that releases energy in breakdown reactions
Term
substrate
Definition
substance on which an enzyme works
Term
active site
Definition
region on an enzyme molecule where the substrate binds
Term
induced fit
Definition
change to an enzyme’s active site brought about by its substrate
Term
activation energy
Definition
input of energy required to start a chemical reaction
Term
product(s)
Definition
substance(s) resulting from and enzyme catalysed reaction and has a low affinity for the active site
Term
non-competitive inhibition
Definition
enzyme inhibition by a substance that permanently alerts the enzyme’s active site
Term
competitive inhibition
Definition
enzyme inhibition by a substance that is similar to the substrate and so can fit the enzyme’s active site
Term
feedback inhibition
Definition
enzyme inhibition caused by the presence of an end product of a metabolic pathway
