8029708054	Peptide bond	A bond that links amino acids together in a protein. anabolic reaction	24
8029821538	Enzymes	Lipase Protease Carbohydrase proteins that speed up chemical reactions biological catalyst	25
8029832934	Enzyme characteristics	active site: break or combine very specific, only acts on 1 type of molecule -> many enzymes recycled, does not get used up	26

8029855534	Exergonic	Releases energy	29
8029859585	Feedback inhibition	Process in which the product or result stops or limits the process a way to control enzymes product competes w/ the substrate for the active site	30
8029867286	Allosteric inhibition	The process in which an enzyme's activity is changed because of binding to the allosteric site.	31
8029877581	Allosteric activation	occurs when an "activator" binds with the enzyme and increases its turnover rate	32
