17
Q

Reactants

A

starting molecules of a reaction

18
Q

Catalysis

A

reactions become more spontaneous if the activation energy is lowered

19
Q

Heat

A

a form of energy associated with the motion of atoms or molecules

20
Q

Endergonic

A
  • not spontaneous

- products have more energy than reactants

21
Q

Allosteric Enzymes

A
  • separate site on enzyme to bind (allosteric site)

- affected by binding of signal molecules

22
Q

Does heat rise?

A

NO, warm air rises

23
Q

All energy can be converted to…..

A

heat

24
Q

2nd Law of Thermodynamics

A
  • amount of disorder (entropy) is increasing in the universe
  • increasing disorder means energy is spontaneously going from potential to heat energy
  • clean house naturally becomes dirty, so need to use energy to reclean
25
Q

Repressors

A

inhibits the enzyme when bound

26
Q

Synthesis Reaction

A
  • make bond
  • A + B = AB
  • requires energy (endergonic)
27
Q

Competitive Inhibition

A

inhibitor blocks active site so substrate cannot bind

28
Q

Enzymes and Chemical Reactions

A

enzymes are unaffected by the chemical reaction and can be re-used

29
Q

Enzyme Active Site

A

surface of the enzyme that binds to reactant

30
Q

Enzymes ______ activation energy.

A

lower

31
Q

Cells control enzymes by altering the….

A

shape

32
Q

Potential Energy

A

store energy

33
Q

All work involves…

A

transformation of potential energy to kinetic energy

34
Q

Thermodynamics

A

study of energy or heat changes

35
Q

1st Law of Thermodynamics

A
  • energy can change forms but can never be created or destroyed
  • total amount of energy in the universe remains constant
36
Q

Enzyme Temperature Range

A

if temp increases, shape of enzyme changes due to unfolding of protein chains

37
Q

Exergonic

A
  • spontaneous

- products have less energy than reactants

38
Q

Enzymes

A
  • biological catalyst
  • suffix -ase
  • amylase
  • cellulase
39
Q

Which reaction is faster?

A

catalyzed

40
Q

Convection

A
  • fluid
  • does not mean liquid
  • through fluid media by convection
41
Q

Conduction

A
  • direct contact

- through solid and fluid media
