Energy carrier molecules have _____ energy
reducing
the most common activated carrier is
ATP
formation of an activated carrier is coupled to an energetically _______ reaction
favorable
catalysts are ______ by participating in the chemical reaction
unchanged
cells break down sugars and organic molecules through ______
respiration
respiration produces ______ + _______
CO2 and H2O
photosynthesis produces _____
sugars
metabolism is _____ and _______
catabolic, anabolic
_____ breaks down larger molecules into smaller molecules, generating useful energy
catabolism
______ uses energy from catabolism to drive synthesis to useful molecules
anabolism
_______ forces are powerful forces in protein folding
hydrophobic
______ sequences determine protein folding
protein
_____ protein folding is too slow for most processes in the cell
spontaneous
_______ proteins increase protein folding rates
chaperone
single nucleotide sequence
primary
specific folding protein folding motifs (beta sheet, alpha helix)
secondary
the overall structure of the folded polypeptide
tertiary
more than one polypeptide chain
quartenary
coiled-coils (2 and 3 strands) and lipid bilayer are examples of what protein structure
secondary
beta sheets can be formed by parallel or anti parallel strands, true or false?
true
covalent linkages between mehtionine by sulfer-sulfur bonds by oxidation (between single polypeptide or diff. subunits; form in the ER)
disulfide bridges
molecules bound by a protein, highly specific at binding site
ligand
cleaves carbohydrate chains in bacterial cell wall (lyses bacteria)
lysozyme
