18
Q

irreversible reaction

A

net loss of reactants and a net gain of products

19
Q

reversible reaction

A

does not proceed only to the right - no net charge in concentration of either reactants or products- equilibrium

20
Q

reaction rate

A

measure of how quickly chemical reaction takes place

21
Q

activation energy

A

energy required to break existing chemical bonds – reaction rate

22
Q

enzymes

A

accelerate chemical reaction (catalyst)

23
Q

uncatalyzed vs catalyzed

A

only facilitate reactions that would already occur
increase rate of product formation

24
Q

specificity

A

permits only a single substrate to bind
helps catalyze only one specific reaction

25
Q

cofactors

A

helper ions/molecules required to ensure that a reaction occurs

26
Q

dehydrogenases

A

involved in electron transfer

27
Q

kinases

A

transfer phosphate groups

28
Q

optimal temperature

A

usually 40C to 104F for human enzymes

29
Q

optimal ph

A

between ph of 6 and 8

30
Q

inhibitors

A

bind enzymes and turns them off

31
Q

competitive inhibitor

A

resembles substrate and binds to active site of enzyme
compete for occupation of active site

32
Q

noncompetitive inhibitors

A

do not resemble substrate

33
Q

allosteric site

A

bind a site other than active site( allosteric inhibitors)

34
Q

metabolic pathway

A

series of enzymes; products of one enzyme becomes substrate of the next

35
Q

multienzyme complex

A

group of attached enzymes
work in sequence of reactions

36
Q

phosphorylation

A

addition of phosphate group
performed by phosphorylases or kinases

37
Q

dephosphorylation

A

removal of phosphate group performed by phosphatases

38
Q

glucose oxidation

A

breakdown of glucose with energy release
carbon dioxide and water formed
energy rich molecule

39
Q

substrate level of phosphorylation

A

least common energy can be used directly

40
Q

oxidative phosphorylation

A

energy used indirectly energy released to coenzymes then transformed to form atp

41
Q

cytosol

A

liquid component of cytoplasm

42
Q

mitochondria

A

power house of the cell

43
Q

glycolysis

A

breakdown of glucose to form pyruvate acid; doesn’t require oxygen
production of 2 atp and 2 nadh

44
Q

intermediate stage

A

linked between glycolysis and citric acid cycle
