Anatomy Ch 4 Quiz: Cellular Respiration Flashcards
within a cell many thousands of chemical reactions take place to keep the cell in _____________
homeostasis
a constant supply of _______ is needed for cellular reactions to occur
energy
_________ control the rate at which the reactions in cells take place
enzymes
Examples of chemical reactions:
cellular respiration, protein synthesis, cell cycle, mitosis, meiosis, DNA replication
____________ is the set of chemical reactions that acquire, store, and release energy in cells
Cellular metabolism
The energy for cellular metabolism comes from the _________ of nutrient molecules from the diet
chemical bonds
build large molecules from small ones
anabolic reaction
example of anabolic reaction
dehydration synthesis
breakdown of larger molecules to smaller ones
catabolic reaction
example of a catabolic reaction
hydrolosis
Examples of anabolic reactions by dehydration synthesis
1) the production of glycogen (polysaccharide)
2) the production of triglycerides
3) the production of proteins
4) the production of nucleic acids
Examples of catabolic reactions by hydrolosis
1) breakdown of carbohydrates into monosaccharides (digestion)
2) breakdown of fats into glycerol and fatty acids
3) breakdown of proteins into amino acids
4) breakdown of nucleic acids into sugar, phosphoric acid, and purine/pyrimidine
cells perform ___________ that take hundreds of chemical changes that happen in a fast and orderly manner thanks to enzymes
metabolic reactions
cells perform metabolic reactions that take hundreds of chemical changes that happen in a fast and orderly manner thanks to _______
enzymes
Without enzymes, reactions in cells would not ________ to keep a cell in homeostasis (because body temp. not high enough)
happen fast enough
Metabolic reactions need _________ to happen
energy (ATP)
Enzymes are ______________.
catalysts
Enzymes are proteins that work by ______________ and speed the rates of ___________.
lowering the activation energy, chemical reaxtions
Enzymes are not consumed in their function to ______________
speed the rate of the reaction
Each enzyme acts only on one specific _____________
substrate
an enzymes ___________allows it to recognize it substrate
conformation
an enzymes conformation allows it to recognize it ________-
substrate
When the substrate changes because enzyme acted, the reaction has taken place and a _________ is formed.
new product
Every cell contains hundreds of enzymes to _____________.
help complete reactions
Many __________ are reversible.
enzymatic reactions
The rate/speed of enzyme-controlled reactions depends on:
a. Number of enzymes and substrate molecules in the cell
b. How many substrates an individual enzyme can process per second
Some enzymes can only process a few substrates, but other enzymes can process ____________ per second.
thousands
Most enzymes are proteins and they can be denature by __________________________________.
exposure to heat
radiation
electricity
fluids with extreme pH values
certain chemicals
Many _________ become inactive at 45 C and nearly all denature at 55 C.
enzymes
Some enzymes are inactive until they combine with a ___________ or __________.
cofactor, coenzyme
A sequence of enzyme-controlled reaction
metabolic pathway
