Question

match the following terms related to enzymes and enzyme function with the most appropriate definition or description. each terms is only used one time. a general name for any substance that can increase the rate of a chemical reaction. when a molecule that is structurally similar to the substrate binds and blocks the active site. the specific term for protein - based biological compound that acts to speed up chemicals reactions without being altered. organic molecules that are essential to the function of an enzyme by causing the enzyme to become functional. many vitamins act in this role. the three dimensional pocket or groove on the surface of the enzyme where the substrate will bind. when a molecule that is not structurally similar to the substrate binds to a place on the enzyme other than the active site. this causes a conformational change in shape of the enzyme preventing the substrate from binding. 1. catalyst 2. enzyme 3. substrate 4. active site 5. coenzyme 6. competitive inhibition 7. noncompetitive inhibition

Explanation:

1. A catalyst is a general - term for substances that speed up chemical reactions.
2. Competitive inhibition occurs when a molecule similar to the substrate blocks the active site.
3. An enzyme is a protein - based biological compound that catalyzes reactions.
4. Coenzymes are organic molecules essential for enzyme function.
5. The active site is the binding site for the substrate on the enzyme.
6. Non - competitive inhibition involves a molecule binding elsewhere on the enzyme, changing its shape.

Answer:

1. catalyst
2. competitive inhibition
3. enzyme
4. coenzyme
5. active site
6. noncompetitive inhibition
