Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Use complete sentences for short answer questions.
1. Anabolic enzymes are responsible for building molecules from simpler ones.
2. The process of protein synthesis, which involves building proteins from amino acids, is an example of an pathway.
3. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by lowering the energy.
4. The specific region on an enzyme where a substrate binds is called the site.
1. Which of the following best describes the function of an anabolic enzyme?
