Energy Flashcards
___ energy is the energy of motion, whereas __ energy represents stored energy
Exergonic, Endergonic
Endergonic Reaction
Energy is store.
Exergonic Reactions
Energy is released
Which Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can be converted from one form to another, but the total amount of energy in the universe remains constant?
First Law of Thermodynamics
What is the function of an enzyme?
To initiate or speed up reaction
Molecules bind to the enzyme at the ___ ___
Active Site
Enzymes lower the __ ___ required for chemical reactions to proceed.
Energy of Activation
What is the function of an enzyme?
They work to make reactions go faster in digestive and metabolic (energy related) process. They are called ‘catalysts’ because they speed up the reaction by lowering the amount of energy needed to get the reaction started
What two factors affect enzyme activity?
pH and Temperature
What is the energy molecule of the cell?
ATP- Adenosine TriPhosphate
Catalyst
A substance capable of initiating or speeding up a chemical reaction.
