Unit 4: Cell Chemistry

What will be covered?

What is meant by activation energy?
What is a catalyst and how do catalysts change the activation energy of a reaction?
What is an enzyme?
Create a model explaining how an enzyme interacts with a substrate, why an enzyme acts on only one substrate and why it is that enzymes are reuseable.
