Back

It is the intermediate formed when an enzyme binds to its substrate.

Front

Back

Amylase.

Front

What is a substrate in the context of enzyme activity?

Back

A substrate is the reactant that an enzyme acts upon.

Front

What happens to enzymes during denaturation?

Back

They lose their functional shape and can no longer catalyze reactions.

Front

What is the active site of an enzyme?

Back

The region on the enzyme where the substrate binds.

Front

How do temperature and pH affect enzyme activity?

Back

Extreme temperatures and pH levels can denature enzymes, reducing their activity.

Front

What is enzyme reusability?

Back

Enzymes can be used multiple times in reactions without being consumed.
