can be easily used to perform work in cells. What is the name of the latter
molecule?
a. Anabolic molecule
b. Cholesterol
c. Electrolyte

3. What does an allosteric inhibitor do?
a. Binds to an enzyme away from the active site and changes the
conformation of the active site, increasing its affinity for substrate
binding.

c. Binds to an enzyme away from the active site and changes the
conformation of the active site, decreasing its affinity for the substrate.

4. What happens if an enzyme is NOT functioning in a chemical reaction within a
living organism that needs it?
a. The reaction stops.
