test 2 Flashcards
Reduction and oxidation reactions take place together.
True
During noncompetitive inhabitation, the inhibitor binds to
The allosteric site
Enzymes are sensitive to change in Temperatures and PH
True
Substrates
The reactants involved in an enzyme catalyzed reaction.
Active site
The point at which the enzyme binds.
key
In the lock and key model, the enzyme is the
lock
in the lock and key model, the substrate is the
amylases
Group of enzymes that work on carbohydrates
proteases
Group of enzymes that work on proteins.
lipases
Group of enzymes that work on lipids.
catalase
An enzyme that works on hydrogen peroxide
lactase
an enzyme that digest lactose
What is NOT true concerning enzymes?
Enzymes raise activation energy.
Enzyme activity can be influenced by environmental conditions
TRUE
This true when concerning temp and enzyme activity.
cooking temp denatures (causes the enzyme to lose its shape) the enzyme.
exergonic
reaction that releases energy as light or heat
exergonic
occurs spontaneously
exergonic
also called catabolic
exergonic
reactions have more energy than the product
endergonic
reactions that absorbs energy
endergonic
reactions that feel cold
endergonic
also called anabolic
endergonic
reactants have less energy than the product
This is NOT true when considering catalysts
Catalysts are reactants in the reaction
