Do not directly compete with the substrate to bind to the enzyme at the active site

A

Non competitive inhibitors

21
Q

Is the term used to describe any care in which a proteins function at one site is affective by the binding of a regulatory molecule to a seperate site

A

Allosteric regulation

22
Q

a metabolic pathway that is switched off by the inhibitory binding of its end product to an enzyme that acts early in the pathway

A

feedback inhibition

23
Q

mechanism that amplifies the responce of enzymes to substrates

A

cooperativity

24
Q

molecules aerobic and anarobic processes

A

cellular respiration

25
election transfers from one reaction to another
redox reaction
26
the loss of electron from one substrate
oxidation
27
the addition of electrons from one substate
reduction
28
the electron donor
reducing agent
29
the electron acceptor
oxidizing agent
30
an electron carrier
NAD+
31
used to break the fall of electrons to oxygen into several energy releasing steps
electron transport chain
32
occurs in the cytosool begins the degredation preocess by breaking glucose into two molecules of a compound called puruvate
glycolsis
33
an enzyme that transfers a phosphate group from ATP to sugar, investing another molecule of ATP in glycolsis
phosphofructokinase (PFK)
34
smaller amount of ATP formed in a few reactions of glycolsis in the citric acid cycle through this mechanism
substrate llevel phosphorylation
35
the degradation process by breaking glucose into two molecules of a compound
pyruvate
36
takes place iin mitochondrial matrix of eukaryotic cells or in the cytosol of prokaryotes it completes the breakdown of glucose bt oxidizing a derivatine of pyruvate to carbon dioxide
citric acid cycle
37
while entering the mitrochondion via active transport pyruvate is the first converted to this compound
acetyl- CoA
38
are most of the remaining electron characters between vbiquinine and oxygen are proteins
cytochrome
39
make ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate
ATP synthase
40
the process in which energy stored in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient across a membrane is used to drive cellular work like synthesis for ATP
chemiosmosis
41
the H+ gradient that results is to as ...
proton motive force
42
pyruvate is converted to etanol in 2 steps
alchol fermentation
43
pyruvate is reduced directly by NADH to form lactate as anena product with no release of CO2
lactic acid fermentation
44
can make enough ATP to survive using fermentation or respiration
faculative anaerobe
45
breaks the fatty acid down to 2 carbon fragments which enter the citric acid cycle as acelylcon
beta oxidation
