FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do enzymes affect activation energy?
Back
Enzymes catalyze reactions by decreasing the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is allosteric inhibition?
Back
Allosteric inhibition occurs when a molecule binds to an enzyme at a site other than the active site, causing a change in the enzyme's shape and reducing its activity.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the active site of an enzyme?
Back
The active site is the specific region on an enzyme where the substrate binds and the reaction takes place.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is competitive inhibition?
Back
Competitive inhibition occurs when a molecule similar to the substrate competes for binding at the active site, preventing the substrate from binding.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What factors can affect enzyme activity?
Back
Factors include temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and the presence of inhibitors or activators.
