Practise IB Biology HL 8.1.2 by interpreting metabolic-pathway terminology and explaining how enzyme specificity controls reaction sequences.
Outline the importance of enzymes to metabolic processes.
a. increase rate of reaction/speed up reaction
b. lower activation energy
c. a specific enzyme for each reaction/substrate
d. metabolic process/pathway blocked if an enzyme is inhibited/absent
e. end-product inhibition can control metabolic pathways
f. differences in metabolism as cells produce different enzymes during differentiation
