being changed itself, lowers the activation energy needed for a reaction


Competitive inhibition of enzymes - answer✔occurs when a substance other than the substrate

binds to the active site of an enzyme


non-competitive inhibitor - answer✔A substance that reduces the activity of an enzyme by

binding to a location remote from the active site, changing its conformation so that it no longer

binds to the substrate.


polarity of water - answer✔has polar covalent bonds; H is partially positive, O is partially

negative


Solute - answer✔A substance that is dissolved in a solution.


Solvent - answer✔A liquid substance capable of dissolving other substances


Solution - answer✔A mixture that forms when one substance dissolves another.


capilary action is a result of water molecules: - answer✔having a strong cohesive force and

attaching to the surrounding vessel walls
