Resource summary

Enzymes
  1. Manufactured in cells, their creation is controlled by the nucleus
    1. Activation energy - Minimum energy required for a reaction to occur
      1. Remains unchanged at the end of the reaction
        1. Recycled
          1. Models
            1. Lock and Key
              1. Induced Fit
              2. Structure
                1. Large proteins (long chains of amino acids) that are folded into a 3D shape
                2. Function
                  1. Biological catalysts (accelerate metabolic processes)
                    1. Substrate - reactants, chemicals which are going to react.
                      1. Lowers the activation energy of the reaction
