TASK CARD: Book Summary
Concept 8.4 (Enzymes speed up metabolic reactions by lowering energy
barriers.)
Describe how an enzyme works by using the following terms: active site,
substrate, product, activation energy, induced fit
Explain four ways that enzymes can decrease the activation energy of a
reaction.
Give examples of how the following conditions can alter enzyme activity:
- Temperature
- pH
- Cofactors
- Inhibitors
