16
Q

Oxidation of glucose

A

An exergonic reaction which drives the synthesis of ATP which is endergonic

17
Q

Cellular respiration is

A

40%. Efficient

18
Q

Uncatalyzed reaction

A

Require a higher activation energy than catalyzed but the no difference in free energy

19
Q

Active site

A

Uninduced enzyme binding the first substrate changing it to
enzyme-substrate-complex

20
Q

Every reaction in cells require its specific

A

Enzyme and named after their substrates

21
Q

Factors affecting the speed of enzyme

A

Substrate concentration
Enzyme concentration
Temperature and Ph

22
Q

Substrate concentration increases

A

Enzyme activity increases

23
Q

More enzyme

A

More and faster reaction

24
Q

Higher temperature

A

Speed reaction unless gets to high and denatures the protein

25
Q

A change in —- can alter the ionization of the R groups in amino acid and change the shape of the protein

A

PH

26
Q

Many enzyme requires —— to function properly

A

Inorganic mineral or organic non protein coenzyme

Cofactors

27
Q

Occurs when an active enzyme is prevented from combing whit its substrate

A

Enzyme inhibition

28
Q

Heavy metals acts like

A

Non competitive inhibition changes the shape

29
Q

Changing the ph toward the optimal ph will

A

Increase the rate of reaction

30
Q

Competitive inhibition

A

Interferes with active site so substrate can not bind
