Q

what does the second law of energy mean?

A

It means that the more energy is transferred the less useful it becomes because each time it is transferred some energy is converted to unusable energy heat.

Q

what happens when a exergonic reaction occures?

A

bonds are broken and energy is released to make ATP

heat is lost so the product holds less usable energy

Q

why is ATP so important?

A
  • it is the most important energy transfer molecule in our body.
  • provided energy for everything your body dose.
  • it is the final product of the energy harvesting process from food.

Q

why is The triphosphate group in ATP unstable?

A

all three molecules are negativly charged are repelled by each other this men’s it required a lot of energy to put them together.and once broken the bonds will release lots of stored up energy contained in those bonds.

Q

What is ATP composed of?

A
  • triphosphate (3 phosates)
  • 1 ribose sugar
  • 1 adenine
35
Q

what makes an enzyme such a great catalyst?

A
  • they make reactions happen at a moderate temp.
  • brought molecules through metabolical pathways.
  • only allow reactions to happen when they are needed
36
Q

what effects enzyme activity?

A
  • the amount of substraits will increase the rate of reactions until saturation is reached
  • heat can denure an enzyme wich means no more reactions
  • the PH of the enzymes environment.
37
Q

what is entropy?

A

the messurment of dissorder or chaos or unusable energy (heat).

38
Q

what is entropy?

A

the messurment of dissorder or chaos or unusable energy (heat).

39
Q

what is a catalys?

A

something that lowers the activation energy needed.

40
Q

what is saturation of enzymes?

A

the point where the rate of reactions hits the max until more enzymes are created.

41
Q

conpetitive vs non-compeditive inhibitors.

A

competitive inhibitors “race” the substrates to the enzyme in order to block the substrate but non-competitive inhibitors bind to the enzyme changing its shape and so the activsite doesn’t match the substrate anymore.

42
Q

conpetitive vs non-compeditive inhibitors.

A

competitive inhibitors “race” the substrates to the enzyme in order to block the substrate but non-competitive inhibitors bind to the enzyme changing its shape and so the activsite doesn’t match the substrate anymore.
