This is the name for the individual small subunits that join together to make a larger macromolecule.
What is a monomer?
200
This type of protein speeds up chemical reactions but is not used up.
What is an enzyme?

During a chemical reaction, energy is needed to break bonds. When new bonds form, the energy will be...
What is released?
500
Too much heat or a pH outside the optimal range can cause an enzyme to lose its shape and function, a process known as this.
What is Denaturation?
500
An enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction but is not used up during the process. After the reaction is complete, the enzyme can do this.
What is reused for another reaction?
