4. Key terms check

Which key term matches this definition?

a general mechanism of enzyme activity regulation in which a molecule other than the enzyme’s substrate is able to bind the active site and prevent the substrate itself from binding, thus inhibiting the overall rate of reaction for the enzyme

5. Key terms check

Which key term matches this definition?

a series of four large, multi-protein complexes embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane that accepts electrons from donor compounds and harvests energy from a series of chemical reactions to generate a hydrogen ion gradient across the membrane

6. Key terms check

Which key term matches this definition?

describes a chemical reaction that results in products that store more chemical potential energy than the reactants

7. Key terms check

Which key term matches this definition?

a molecule that catalyzes a biochemical reaction
