Q

Explains how chemical reactions occur and how certain factors affect the rates of those reactions. All Adams, ions, and molecules are continuously moving and colliding with one another. Energy transfer by these particles in the collision can disrupt their electrons structures enough to break chemical bonds or form new bonds.

17
Q

Fill the active site of an enzyme and compete with the normal substrate for the active site. Sulfanilamide/paba

A

Competitive inhibitors

18
Q

Inhibition by interacting with another part of the enzyme

A

Noncompetitive inhibitors

19
Q

The inhibitor binds to a site on the enzyme other than the substrates binding site call the allosteric site

A

Allosteric inhibition

20
Q

This control mechanism stops The cell from making more of a substance that it needs and thereby wasting chemical resources.

A

Feedback inhibition or and product inhibition

21
Q

In many metabolic pathways than product can be Allosterically inhibited by the activity of one of the enzymes earlier in the pathway. Usually act on the first enzyme in the metabolic pathway

A

End product inhibition

22
Q

Unique type of RNA like protein enzymes, functions as a catalyst, has active sites that binding to substrates, and are not used up in a chemical reaction. Cut and splice RNA that are involved in protein synthesis at ribosomes.

A

Ribozyme

23
Q

An electron is transferred from molecule a to molecule b in the process molecule a is oxidized, and molecule b is reduced.

A

Oxidation reduction

24
Q

Oxidation and reduction reactions are always coupled: each time one substance is oxidized another is simultaneously reduced

A

Redox reaction
