11454946510	activation energy	What is the "hill" of this graph called?	5
11454946511	decrease	Does an enzyme increase or decrease the activation energy of a reaction?	6
11454946512	substrate	the reactant in an enzyme catalyzed reaction	7
11454946513	active site	the region on the enzyme where the substrate binds	8
11454946514	enzyme	What is the arrow pointing at?	9
11454946515	substrate	What is the arrow pointing at?	10
11454946516	active site	What is the arrow pointing at?	11
11454946517	products	What is the arrow pointing at?	12
11454946518	reaction rate	a measure of how fast an enzyme catalyzed reaction occurs	13
11454946520	optimum conditions	the temperature and pH where enzyme activity is highest	14
11454946521	denaturation	destruction of the active site of the enzyme by breaking the weak bonds of the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures	15
11454946522	denaturation	What has happened to this protein?	16
11454946523	high temperatures or changes in pH	What are two environmental factors that can denature a protein?	17
11454946524	inhibitor	prevents the substrate from binding to the enzyme, decreasing enzyme activity	18
11454946525	competitive inhibitor	binds to the enzyme at the active site and blocks the substrate from binding	19
11454946526	competitive inhibitor	What kind of inhibitor is this?	20
11454946527	noncompetitive inhibitor	binds to the enzyme somewhere other than the active site and changes the shape of the active site	21
11454946528	noncompetitive inhibitor	What kind of inhibitor is this?	22
11454946531	optimum pH	What does the green x represent?	23
