Why is an enzyme called a catalyst?
An enzyme is called a catalyst because it speeds up the rate of chemical reactions.

1) Nucleotides are the monomers of ... 2) What are the three parts of a nucleotide?
If it is too hot of the pH is not right, an enzyme can denature. What does the word denature mean?
When an enzyme denatures, it changes shape. Because it changes shape, it can no longer bond to the substrate, and therefore no longer works.

What is the difference between an autotroph and a heterotroph? Give an example of each.
Auto = self. Autotrophs make their own energy (example: plants). Hetero = different. Heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy (example: animals and fungus).

The role of an enzyme in a chemical reaction is to lower what?
Enzymes lower the activation energy of a reaction, or the energy needed for a chemical reaction (a change) to take place.
