How the three kinds differ

Define cards carry a term on the front and its definition on the back. Check cards carry a question with a short written answer, one per lesson; write the answer out before turning the card over. Spot the error cards carry an inaccurate statement on the front for you to correct.

• Enzyme action and specificity: check questionCHECK
• Initial rateDEFINE
• Limiting factorDEFINE
• OptimumDEFINE
• A denatured enzyme is one that has been switched off, so cooling it down should switch it back onSPOT THE ERROR
• Factors affecting enzyme rate: temperature, pH and concentration: check questionCHECK
• Competitive inhibitorDEFINE
• Non-competitive inhibitorDEFINE
• Allosteric siteDEFINE
• End-product inhibitionDEFINE
• An enzyme inhibitor is always a foreign poison, not a molecule the cell makes to control its own pathwaysSPOT THE ERROR
• Enzyme inhibition and metabolic control: check questionCHECK
• CofactorDEFINE
• CoenzymeDEFINE
• Prosthetic groupDEFINE
• Intracellular enzymeDEFINE
• Extracellular enzymeDEFINE
• An enzyme is a protein and nothing else, so the polypeptide chain must carry everything the catalysis needsSPOT THE ERROR
• Cofactors, coenzymes and where enzymes work: check questionCHECK
