The energy needed to start a reaction is called the

• activation energy

• starting energy

• promoting energy

• reacting energy

A catalyst is an enzyme that

• A) speeds up the rate of a reaction.

• B) reduces the amount of energy needed for a reaction to start.

• Both A and B are correct

• Neither A nor B are correct

Enzymes contain a(n) ___ where reactants can bond to react with each other.

• active site

• reaction site

• substrate site

• enzyme site

Once an enzyme has helped a reaction take place, it can then

• be reused for another reaction with the same reactants.

• be broken down.

• be stored in the cell until it is needed again.

• be used to help different reactants go through a reaction.

Some factors can change the shape of an enzyme and when an enzyme's shape has changed it no longer works. When this happens we say that the enzyme has been ___.

• denatured

• altered

• modified

• renatured

Which of the following can cause a protein's shape to change?
