Q

Classes of Enzymes

A
  1. Synthetase- ( polymerase= ligase) builds small molecules into larger ones

Ex: glucose made into glycogen

  1. Hydrolase- breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones y adding water
  2. Transferase- move a functional group from one molecule to another
  3. Isomerase- rearranging an atom within a molecule
  4. Lyase- causes a double bond to break or form
  5. Oxidireductase- cause the loss or gain of hydrogens and or electrons

Q

Enzymes

A
  • usually proteins 3d shape
  • biological catalysts- speeds up reaction
  • reused

Holoenzyme- whole functional enzyme
Apoenzyme- protein with 3d shape(needs more)

Q

Negative Feedback

A

Excess product inhibits pathway by binding an enzyme in the pathway, changing shape and blocking pathway

If too much of the product is not used

Excess P attaches to E2 and changes the shape of E2 so that it cannot fit and the pathway is stopped/ inhibited until P is all used up and needed again

Q

ATP synthase

A

Uses energy from hydrogen ion coming through membrane makes ATP from ADP + Phosphate

16
Q

Energy

A

Glycolysis- 2 ATP, 2 NADH

Intermediate- 2 NADH

Krebs Cycle- 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2

ETC- 6 ATP + 6 ATP + 18 ATP + 4 ATP= 34 ATP= 38 total

17
Q

Fermentation

A

Anaerobic

No ATP

Glycolysis produce 2atp and fermentation 0= 2 ATP

Ex: lactic acid, ethanol, acetone, acetic acid

Human- pyruvic acid~lactic acid

Yeast- acetylaldehyde~ CO2+ ethanol

Propinnin bacterium~ propinic acid

Sacromyces- CO2+ ethanol

Clostridium- acetone and isopropyl

Escherichia acetobacter- vinegar, acetic acid

18
Q

Phosphorylation

A

Magnesium required, phosphate coming from substrate level

Organic molecule

High energy phosphate

Ex: phosphoenol pa~ pyruvic acid

Transferase does this

Makes ATP

Euk- mitochondria, cytosol
Prok- cytosol

19
Q

Oxidative phosphorylation

A

Inorganic phosphate

Proton motive force

Euk- inner membrane of mitochondria
Prok- cytoplasmic membrane

Make ATP in ETC

20
Q

Photo phosphorylation

A

Inorganic phosphate

Proton motive

In euk- thylakoids of chloroplast
In prok- thylakoids of cytoplasmic membrane

In plants

21
