100
Enzymes are named after the substrate they react with - replacing the "ose" with "ase". This is the enzyme that breaks down Lactose.
What is Lactase?
100

These contains ions like iron.

What is cofactor?

100
Enzymes _________ reactions in the cells.
What is speed up?
100

This is the term used when the enzyme is actively operating on the substrate causing the reaction.

What is an enzyme-substrate complex?

100

Meaning of AIDS

What is Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome?

200

True or False: Enzymes are used up during their reaction.

What is False? 

200
True or False: All reactions require the same amount of ENERGY to get started.
What is false?
200
Enzymes are this type of macromolecule.
What is proteins?
200
This is what the Enzyme acts upon.
What is a substrate?
200

True or False, PIs are metabolized in the Liver.

What is True.

300

Explain what is meant by "Enzymes are substrate specific"

What is the Lock and Key Model?

300

This protein will increase the activation of a cell.

What is an enzyme?

300
Enzymes lowers activation energy & speeds something up. Another word for this is a ____________.
What is catalyst?
300
Where the specific substrate fits in the enzyme.
What is an active site?
300

The enzyme that metabolizes the PIs in the liver

What is the CYP3A4?

400

Which is the lock, which is the key?

What is the Enzymes are the lock, substrates are the key?

400
An enzyme will ____________ the amount of activation energy required.
What is reduce?
400
Enzymes are substrate specific, this means?
What is Enzymes only react with specific substrates that fit into the active site (Lock and key)
400
The “new” substance created during reaction.
What is a product?
400

They prevent immature viruses to infect other cells

What is antiretrovirals

500
Describe the differences between a synthesis reaction and a hydrolysis reaction.
What is: synthesis is a building up reaction (2 substrates join into one) hydrolysis is a breaking down reaction involving water (1 substrate breaks into two)
500

They may bind the substrate or to the active site

What are enzyme sidekicks?

500
True or false: For each reaction, there is a specific enzyme.
What is true?
500
After the reaction, the enzyme is _________.
What is reusable?
