1.4 IU

Explanation / Answer

1) a catalyst

An enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction.

2) Sucrose

Sucrase acts on sucrose and converts it into glucose and fructose

3) Proenzyme

4) Cofactor

5) Enzyme concentration

6) Optimum conditions

7) Competitive Inhibitors

8) slow down the rate of the reaction

9) an inactive form of an enzyme

10) allosteric enzymes
