21
Q

The shutting of inorganic phosphate and energy

22
Q

Macromolecules (proteins) that act as a catalyst

23
Q

Chemical agent that speeds up reactions without being consumed by the reaction itself

24
Initial investment of energy for starting a reaction.
Activation energy
25
Enzyme catalyzes a reaction by lowering the ___,enabling the reactant molecules to absorb enough energy to reach transition state even at modern temperature. Do not change delta G
Activation energy
26
Cannot make reaction occur that wouldn't normally occur. They just speed those that would occur anyway
Enzymes
27
The reactant an enzyme acts on
Substrate
28
Restricted region of an enzyme molecule where the enzyme molecule actually binds to substrate
Active site
29
How does temperature affect enzyme activity
increased temp will increase enzyme activity up till boiling point then it is denatured
30
How does pH affect enzyme activity
each enzyme has optimal pH level
31
Nonprotein helpers many enzymes requires for catalystic activity
cofactors
32
organic cofactors
coenzyme
33
two types of inhibitors are?
Competitive and noncompetitive
34
Mimic the substrate and reduces productivuty of enzymes by blocking substrates from entering the active sites
Competitive inhibitors
35
Impede enzymatic reactions by binding to another part of the enzyme. The causes the enzymes molecule to change shape in such ways that the active site becomes less affective
Noncompetitive inhibitors
36
Buils molecules as in protein synthesis
Anabolic reactions
37
catabolic reactions
has a negative delta G
38
Glucose+Oxygen to give Carbon Dioxide+water+eneergy
Catablic reactions and celluar respiration
39
transfering of teminal phosphate of ATP to some other molecule is
Phosphorylation
40
Results in the release of energy
ATP+Water
41
Enzymes end in
"ase"
42
Enzymes are
large protien molecules
43
Enzymes reduce energy of activation that would be necessary for
Chemical reactions to take place
44
Enzyme and Substrates for
Enzyme Substrate complex
45
T or F: Enymes are reuseable
True
46
Metabolism which is breaking down | Protein to amino acid
Catabolic
47
Metabolism that is building up | Amino acid to protein
Anabolic
48
Exergonic reaction does what
Releases energy
49
An endergonic reaction does what
Requires energy
50
catabolic metabolism is
Exergonic-releasing energy
51
anabolic metabolism is
Endergonic-requiring energy
