Reactions in living living things need to absorb energy to survive. things animals get energy from plants, animals. plants get energy from sunlight. biological catalyst that speeds up chemical rxn. Enzyme lowers activation energy. uniquely shaped protein that helps break or build Substrate molecules. Active site reactant(s) that fit into enzyme’s active site. Product place on enzyme where reaction happens. How an enzyme result of reaction. works substrate(s) fit into active site on enzyme. reaction occurs and products are released. reaction continues substrate(s) are gone. Factors that enzyme is used and reused. affect enzyme heat/abnormal pH denature (changes shape) enzyme.
