Energy Homework (10/4/16) Flashcards
During a Chemical reaction which molecules become reduced?
Molecules that have one or more electrons added.
- the statements that are true of exergonic reactions.
- Exergonic reactions are spontaneous
- Exergonic reactions release energy during product formation.
_____ are proteins or RNA molecules that act as catalysts to speed up reactions in living organisms
enyzmes
- What is a substrate?
A reactant molecule that binds to the active site of an enzyme
*Characteristics pf Enzymes
- Enzymes are not cahnged or consumed inre actions
- Enzymes may be used more than once in a cell
- Enzymes are genrally proteins that functionsas catalysts
- How many different kinds of enzymes are known in total?
Thousands
- TRUE or FALSE: All cells have the same set of enzymes.
False
- events that must occur before bonds in the substrate are broken during an enzyme catalyzed reaction.
- Amino acids in the enzymes must interact withe substrate
- Substrate must bind the enzyme
- A substrate-enzyme complex must form
Which of the following describes the active site of an enzyme
It is the part of the enzyme where the substrate fits.
What is produced by the binding of enzyme and substrate?
enzyme-substrate complex
The binding of a substrate usually produces a slight change in the enzyme’s shpae resulting in a better enzyme substrate fit this is called ____
induced
*All of the enzymes that a cell has are found in the cells’ cytoplasm
FALSE
Statements that accurately describe multienzyme complexes
Enzymes in multienzyme complexes catalyze a sequences of reactions
Within the multienzyme complex, products of one reaction can be dleivered to the next reaction
Multienzyme complexes improve catalytic effieciency
A more efficient way to catalyze a sequence of related biochemical reactions is to combine several proteins into a _____ complex, in this way, the product of each reaction can be delivered to the next enzyme, without being released to diffuse away.
multienzyme
*True about ribozymes
- Ribozymes show high sunstrate specificity
SOme ribozymes catalyze reactions on themselves
Ribozymes can grealty acceerate the rate of a reaction
