Types of chemical reactions

Question 1

Phosphorylation

Answer 1

reactions where phosphate groups are being moved around
- production of ATP
- energy released when phosphate group is removed
- ex: ATP —> ADP + PO4 releases energy

Question 2

Anabolic

Answer 2

build larger molecules
- endothermic

Question 3

Catabolic

Answer 3

break things into smaller parts
- exothermic

Question 4

Dehydration Synthesis

Answer 4

losing water to combine monomers

Question 5

Hydrolysis

Answer 5

creating water by breaking polymer linkage

Question 6

neutralization

Answer 6

acid + base = water + salt
- stomach acids and bile
- carbonic acid in blood

Question 7

buffers

Answer 7

molecules/rxns that minimize changes inside cells
- absorb excess H+ or OH-

Question 8

Red-Ox

Answer 8

movement of electrons

Question 9

why is oxygen usually involved in red-ox rxn

Answer 9

high electronegativity attracts H atom and reduces other molecule???

Question 10

Substrate level phosphorlylation

Answer 10

enzymes directly move phosphate group from a donating molecule onto ADP
- seen in glycolysis

Question 11

Oxidative phosphorlylation

Answer 11

making ATP through a bunch of redox reactions
- seen in ETC

Question 11

Photophosphorylation

Answer 11

similar to OXPHOS but solar energy provides energy to move electrons
- only in plants
- seen in LIGHT SCHEME
