1ST MONTHLY EXAM Flashcards
Most energy used through conversion of ATP molecules to ADP molecules
Cellular Respiration
In living systems, a novel strategy had emerged, they use
catalysts
Accelerates a reaction that would otherwise proceed at a very slow rate
Catalyst
Living world’s catalysts
Enzymes
Majority of enzymes that has with strongly folded and interlinked amino acid chains
Proteins
To perform enzymatic work, some need involvement with non-protein groups called
Cofactors
Another class of cofactors and is organic
Coenzymes
Example of coenzymes that contains vitamins nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) which contains the vitamin
Nicotinic acid (Niacin)
Coenzyme A
Nicotinic acid (Niacin)
Nicotinic acid (Niacin); Coenzyme A that contains the vitamin
Pantothenic Acid and Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide (FAD), which contains RIBOFLAVIN
Mouth (Breaks down starches into disaccharides)
Amylase (Aplha amylase) Enzyme
Stomach (Breaks fown proteins into smaller peptides)
Pepsin Enzyme
Small Intestine (released from pancreas), Continues to break down the starch
Pancreatic Amylase
Trypsin
Lipase
Enzyme
Small Intestine (Breaks down dipeptides into amino acids)
Maltase, sucrose, lactase
Peptidase
ATP (Pyruvic Acid)
Adenosine Triphosphate= A key energy carrying molecule in biological systems.
Physical process that allows animals and humans to come in contact with gases in the air
Breathing
A chemical process that releases energy from organic compounds (food) gradually converting it into energy that is stored in ATP molecules
Cellular Respiration
Breaks chemical bonds in glucose, releasing stored energy and some energy is lost as heat
Cellular Respiration
Releasing stored energy and transferring some to ___ ATP; energy is lost as heat
38 Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
