c1.1 terms

Question 1

metabolism

Answer 1

all anabolic and catabolic rsnx in a living thing

Question 2

anatabolic

Answer 2

a reaction that creates polymers from monomers using condensation synthesis
monomer + monomer -> polymer +water

Question 3

anabolic

Answer 3

a rxn that makes monomers from polymers using hydrolysis
monomer + monomer -> polymer + water

Question 4

exergonic (and what type of reaction is exergonic)

Answer 4

exothermic, catabolic

Question 5

endergonic (and what type of rxn is endergonic)

Answer 5

endothermic, anabolic

Question 6

transition state

Question 7

enzyme

Answer 7

a globular protein functioning as a biological catalyst, speeding up metabolic rxn rates by lowering activation energy

Question 8

active site

Answer 8

the site on the surface of an enzyme to which substrate(s) bind and catalyze a chemical rxn

Question 9

enzyme-substrate complex

Answer 9

the thing that is made when a substrate binds to an enzyme (via the active site like always)

Question 10

Kinetic Molecular Theory

Question 11

molecular motion

Answer 11

the amount that molecules will vibrate– molecular motion increases with increased temperature

Question 12

optimal temperature

Answer 12

temperature at which the enzyme is at ideal catalysing capacity.

Question 13

optimum pH

Answer 13

pH at which the enzyme is at ideal catalysing capacity.

Question 14

collision theory

Answer 14

in order for substrates to react, they have to have enough activation energy and also collide in the correct orientation

Question 15

units that you can measure rates of enzyme catalyzed reactions

Answer 15

production of product per unit time
reduction in reactant per unit time
