Q

Biochemical Pathway

A
  • catalyzed reactions can occur in a sequence

- the product of one reaction is the substrate of the next and so on until a final product is made

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…..

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
Repressors
inhibits the enzyme when bound
26
Synthesis Reaction
- make bond - A + B = AB - requires energy (endergonic)
27
Competitive Inhibition
inhibitor blocks active site so substrate cannot bind
28
Enzymes and Chemical Reactions
enzymes are unaffected by the chemical reaction and can be re-used
29
Enzyme Active Site
surface of the enzyme that binds to reactant
30
Enzymes ______ activation energy.
lower
31
Cells control enzymes by altering the....
shape
32
Potential Energy
store energy
33
All work involves...
transformation of potential energy to kinetic energy
34
Thermodynamics
study of energy or heat changes
35
1st Law of Thermodynamics
- energy can change forms but can never be created or destroyed - total amount of energy in the universe remains constant
36
Enzyme Temperature Range
if temp increases, shape of enzyme changes due to unfolding of protein chains
37
Exergonic
- spontaneous | - products have less energy than reactants
38
Enzymes
- biological catalyst - suffix -ase * amylase * cellulase
39
Which reaction is faster?
catalyzed
40
Convection
- fluid * does not mean liquid - through fluid media by convection
41
Conduction
- direct contact | - through solid and fluid media
