Lecture 7 Flashcards
Anabolic Metabolism
Builds complex molecules from simpler ones
Catabolic Metabolism
Breaks down complex molecules to form simpler ones.
Exergonic reaction
doesn’t require energy input, spontaneous, produces energy, -G value
Endergonic Reaction
Requires energy, non spontaneous
____ of ATP releases energy
hydrolysis
When is ATP regenerated?
Cellular respiration
Enzyme active site process
- Substrate enters active site
2.held in place by weak interactions - active site lowers AE
- substrates converted to products
- products released
- site open again
Allosteric regulation
a molecule binds to a site on an enzyme to either activate or inhibit the enzymes function
Increasing temp….
increases rate of reactions, too high temps deregulates proteins
Which of the following is an exergonic reaction?
1 Formation of a peptide bond
2 Hydrolysis of ATP
3 Photosynthesis
4 Osmosis
- Energy is released as a byproduct
Which of the following is an example of an anabolic pathway?
1 Breaking down glucose into water and carbon dioxide to release energy
2 Digestion of proteins
3 Motor proteins moving along a microtubule
4 Synthesis of sugar molecules from carbon dioxide during photosynthesis
4, anabolic is making larger molecules from smaller ones
