A

Cofactor

41
Q

These can detect temp changes in the body

A

Thermoreceptors

42
Q

The term “metabolic ________” refers to a sequence of enzyme-catalyzed chemical reactions which are all linked to each other

A

Pathway

43
Q

A

Thyroid

44

49
Q

Relationship between catalyst and enzyme

A

Catalysts for biochemical reactions that happen in living organism ls are called enzymes. Not all catalysts are enzymes though

50
Q

Where does the enzyme pepsin function?

A

In the stomach

51
Q

2 Enzymes that functions in the small intestines

A

Pancreatic lipase , trypsin

52
Q

Where does the enzyme sucrase function?

Stomach

53
Q

What do these break down ?
Nuclease-
Sucrase -
Lipase -
Pepsin -
Trypsin -

A

Nuclease - DNA(nucleic acids)
Sucrase - sugars (sucrose)
Lipase - Lipids
Pepsin - polypeptides
Trypsin - polypeptides (proteins)

54
Q

Which organelles in cells make enzymes/protein?

A

Ribosomes, located in the ER

55
Q

Denaturing of proteins are caused by these 3 main factors

A

Temperature being too hot
PH levels
Exposure to acids, strong chemicals and heavy metals

56
Q

What level of protein is an enzyme?

A

Tertiary

57
Q

From which gland and what hormones are released in childbirth?

A

Posterior pituitary nerve gland , oxytocin

58
Q

What does the hormone oxytocin do

A

It travels in the blood to the uterus and causes the uterus to contract , pushing fetus forward

59
Q

How does the negative feedback system work

A

Stimulus = receptor will alert regulatory center in the brain = brain will send adaptive response to counteract stimulus

60
Q

How does the thyroid gland provide a negative feedback system

A

Stimulus: thyroxin levels drop = RC:hypothalamus releases HRH , travels to anterior pituitary gland via duct. (Peptide hormone, endocrine) = Adaptive response: APG releases TSH into bloodstream, TSH binds to receptors on the plasma membrane of thyroid gland.

61
Q

How does metabolism work

A

All the chemical reactions occurring within ur body are called metabolism. Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are usually part of a metabolic pathway. Metabolic pathway begins with a specific reactant and ends with an end product. A specific enzyme controls each step in the metabolic pathway.

62
Q

Each Enzyme control ______ reaction only. Therefore they are _______ for that reaction.

A

One, specific

63
Q

Will a reaction still occur if that enzyme in a metabolic pathway is missing?

A

No

64
Q

How does the [] of substrates affect reaction rate

A

Adding substrates to an enzyme-catalyzed reaction will increase the reaction rate until all active sites are saturated (taken up). This means products are being produced at a constant rate. In this case, to increase the rate of activity, add more enzymes.

65
Q

How does the [] of enzymes affect reaction rate.

A

Increase enzyme concentration will result in more products being made until all substrates are acted upon. In order to increase the rate in this case add substrate.

66
Q

Symptoms of hyper/hypothyroidism

A

Hypo: constant fatigue, weight gain, decreased body temp, loss of hair, slower pulse rate, thick puffy skin.
Goitre could be present

Hyper: goiter, eyes to protrude, tissue fluid could accumulate in eye and cause double vision. Nervousness, insomnia and weight loss
