17
Q

Energy is neither created or destroyed but changed from one form to another

A

1st law of thermodynamics

18
Q

The total amount of energy remains constant however the amount of energy to do work decreases.

A

Th 2nd law of thermodynamics

19
Q

Gibbs Free Energy is…

A

The amount of energy in a system to do work

20
Q

Possible Gibbs

A

Products have more free energy than reactant

21
Q

Negative Gibbs

A

If the reactants have more free energy than produces

22
Q

Positive Gibbs and require input of energy (non-spontaneous)

A

ENDERGONIC

23
Q

Negative Gibbs and release energy (spontaneous)

A

EXERGONIC

24
Q

Entropy=

A

Influences the movement of molecules and adds a degree of disorder

25
Q

Energetic coupling is where=

A

A spontaneous reaction drives a non-spontaneous reaction

26
Q

Transition state is:

A

Where old bonds are breaking and new bonds are forming. Unstable and therefore has a large amount of free energy

27
Q

When an enzyme-substrate complex is formed, the substrate is converted to ….. and then complex dissociates to form …. and ….

A

EP

E and P

28
Q

What has highly specific active sites?

A

Proteins

29
Q

Decreases enzyme activity by either binding to the active site or binding to enzyme at another site and altering the shape.

A

Inhibitors

30
Q

Activators…

A

Increase enzyme activity

31
Q

If the final product inhibits the first step of the reaction.

A

Negative feedback
