alter or speed up chemical reactions
remain chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction
Enzymes................
increases activation energy
decreases activation energy
maintains activation energy
Activation energy is the energy needed ................... a reaction
to end the reaction
throughout the reaction
to start the reaction
Enzymes are required in minute amounts because
remain chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction so that can be reused again and again.
highly specific in their action.
They also have a specific active site which only allows substrates with a complementary 3-D shape to that of the active site to bind.
