Q

Second law of thermodynamics

A

Entropy (disorder) is continuously increasing. Energy transformations proceed spontaneously to convert matter from a more ordered/less stable form to a more unstable form

A

G= energy available to do work
H= Enthalpy, energy in a molecule’s chemical bond (Potential energy)
T= Absolute temperature

16
Q

Negative ΔG

A

Products have less free energy than reactants (less bonds)
Exergonic and Catabolic
Release excess free energy, spontaneous (But could be slow)
Breaking things, breaking bonds

17
Q

Activation Energy (Ea)

A

Extra energy required to destabilize an existing bond and initiate a chemical reaction

18
Q

Increase Ea rate 2 ways

A

Increasing energy of reacting molecules (Heat)
Lowering activation energy

19
Q

Catalyst

A

Substances that influence chemical bonds in a way that lowers activation energy
Makes reaction proceed faster
Not used up in process
Cannot violate laws of thermodynamics (Endergonic cannot be spontaneous)

20
Q

Enzymes

A

Biological Catalysts. Work by lowering activation energy.
Mostly proteins. Some RNA called ribozymes

21
Q

ATP Adenosine Triphosphate

A

Chief currency of the cell
Composed of: Ribose - 5 carbon sugar, Adenine, chain of 3 phosphate groups. Made and used immediately. Travels to where it is needed.

22
Q

ATP, ADP, AMP

A

Chain of phosphates key to energy storage because bonds are unstable and weak.
Nucleic acid (nucleotide) sugar, nitrogenous base, and phosphate
ATP 3 phosphate
ADP 2 phosphate
AMP 1 phosphate

23
Q

ATP Hydrolysis drives

A

Endergonic reactions.

24
Q

Coupled reactions of ATP

A

Energy released by ATP is used immediately by cell for an energy requiring function (Endergonic).

25
Q

Substrate

A

substance on which the enzyme acts.

26
Q

Active Site

A

Pockets or clefts for substrates binding.

27
Q

Enzyme and substrate bind forms

A

Enzyme-substrate complex (tertiary structure). Applies stress to distort particular bonds to lower activation energy. Induced fit/ perfect fit
E + S = ES = E + P

28
Q

Coenzymes

A

When the cofactor is a nonprotein organic molecule. Modified nucleotides are also used. Ex vitamins

29
Q

Cofactors

A

These can be metal ions that are often found in the active site participating directly in catalysis

30
Q

Inhibitor

A

Substances that bind to enzyme and decreases its activity

31
Q

Competitive inhibitor

A

Competes with substrate for active site

32
Q

Noncompetitive inhibitor

A

Binds to enzyme at a site other than active site (Allosteric site). Causes shape change that makes enzyme unable to bind to substrate

33
Q

Allosteric enzymes

A

Enzymes exist in active and inactive forms

34
Q

Allosteric inhibitor

A

Binds to allosteric site and reduces enzyme activity

35
Q

Allosteric activator

A

Binds to allosteric site and increases enzyme activity

36
Q

Metabolic Pathway or Biochemical Pathway

A

Chemical reactions that create/store or produce other chemical products for daily function. Reaction occur in a sequence. Product of one reaction is substrate for the next reaction

37
Q

Feedback Inhibition

A

Metabolic pathways compete for resources. Limits extent of competition. Reaction product or by-product binds to allosteric site of enzyme involved in initial stages.
Concentrated product = pathway shut off
