AP Bio Enzymes Questions and Answers
allosteric activator binds to the enzyme and induces the enzyme's active form
feedback inhibition A method of metabolic control in which the end product of a
metabolic pathway acts as an inhibitor of an enzyme within that pathway.
competitive inhibition The process of a substance reducing the activity of an enzyme by
entering the active site in place of the substrate whose structure it mimics.
noncompetitive inhibition the act of binding to another part of an enzyme, causing the
enzyme to change shape and making the active site less effective
bioenergetics the study of how energy flows through living organisms
enzymes protein substances that speed up chemical reactions.
organic catalysts chemical substances that reduce the activation energy that is needed for
a reaction to take place
