What is the term for the molecule that binds to an enzyme at the active site?

Back

Substrate.

Front

What happens to chemical reactions in cells when ATP production is inhibited by toxins like cyanide?

Back

There is a slow down and eventual cessation of chemical reactions because ATP is absolutely needed for chemical reactions to occur.

Front

What is the role of enzymes in biochemical reactions?

Back

Enzymes act as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions without being consumed in the process.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back
