What are the 5 things about enzymes you need to know?

In a chemical reaction, a reactant binds to an enzyme at the region known as the ______.

1. substrate
2. enzyme
3. active site
4. base

Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by

1. lowering activation energy
2. releasing energy
3. raising the activation energy
4. absorbing energy

Why are enzymes important?

1. lower activating energy, makes reactions happen more quickly
2. raises activation energy, makes reactions happen more quickly
3. they are amino acids
4. they are fun to eat
