Chapter 6, Problem 14A
Summary Introduction

To match:

The terms on the left with the correct definition on the right.

Introduction:

Enzyme is a protein that speeds up a chemical reaction. The substrate is a molecule on which an enzyme acts. Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions where substrates are involved. In the case of a single substrate, the substrate binds on the enzyme active site, and an enzyme-substrate complex is formed. Enzymes are catalysts. The lower the activation energy for a reaction, the rate will be faster. Thus enzymes increase the rate of reactions by lowering activation energy.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The table below represents the correct match on left with right.

    Activation energy A. a protein that speeds up a reaction.
    B. a substance formed by a chemical reaction.
    C. the energy required to start a reaction.
    D. a substance that binds to an enzyme.

Activation energy is the energy need to convert a reacting molecule to product. Hence, this can be correctly matched with C.
