Chemical Nomenclature Flashcards
Same substance chemically, but in a different form.
allotrope
Capable of acting as an acid or a base
amphoteric
Situation where a catalyst and regulator enzyme are the same. End product inhibits initial reaction.
allosterism
System which resists marked changes in pH solution.
buffer
Passage of charged particle toward a cathode in electrophoresis.
catephoresis
Movement of charged particles suspended in liquid under the influence of an electrical field.
electrophoresis
Compounds with mirror image isomerase, optical density.
entiomer
Enzymatic decomposition of carbohydrates.
fermentation
Sugar breakdown
glycolysis
Formation of carbohydrates from non-carbo source.
glyconeogenesis/gluconeogenesis
Forming glucose from glycogen.
glycogenolysis
Same molecular formula, different arrangement.
isomer
Same atomic # (protons), different atomic weight (neutrons).
isotope
Enzymes of different structure, same function. (ex: lactate dehydrogenase & pepsin)
isozyme
The pH of a solution @ which a charge ion does not migrate to either pole in an electric field.
Isoelectric point
Sulfur analogs to alchohols
mercaptens
Loss of electrons (NADP—>NADPH)
oxidation
Gain of electrons (NADPH—->NADP)
reduction
Alkali hydrolysis of a TAG, yields a glycerol and a soap.
saponification
A metallic salt of a fatty acid.
soap
Isomers with a different spatial & configurational formula.
Stereoisomer
An amino acid at it’s isoelectric point, least soluble form.
Zwitter ion
