Energy
Figure 4.5 Animated! Activation energy. Most reactions, including
energy-releasing ones such as burning wood cellulose, will not begin
without at least a small input of energy. This activation energy is shown
in the graph above as a bump in an energy hill. Reactants in this example
have more energy than the products. Activation energy keeps this and
other energy-releasing reactions from starting spontaneously.

How Enzymes are Regulated
Cofactors or Coenzymes
Figure 4.8 Regulatory molecule binding to enzymes. Some types of regulatory
molecules (red) bind to an enzyme in a place other than the active site. This binding
changes the shape of the enzyme in a way that enhances or inhibits its function.

keeps plant parts erect.
These cells in an iris petal
are plump with cytoplasm.

E) Cells from a wilted iris petal.
The cytoplasm shrank, and
the plasma membrane has
pulled away from the cell wall.
