• Catalyst

• Product

• Active Site

Enzymes are ________________ for a substrate.

• Specific

• Non-specific

The biological molecule that an enzyme will work on is known as a -

An enzyme binds to a substrate at the -

• Active site

• Candy bar

• Enzyme-substrate complex

• Catalytic location

When a substrate is changed it is known as -

• Analysis

• Catalysis

• Metabolism

• Reaction

__________________ is when a substrate is broken down.

Is the enzyme denatured (changed) when it lets go of the substrate?

• Yes

• No

• Maybe

• I don't know (you better not pick this answer)
