1
Q
What are competitive inhibitors?

They bind to the active site
Can also be reversed by increasing substrate conc.
2

3
Q
Anabolic pathway is?
A
A biosynthetic reaction and it requires energy!!!
4
Q
What is catabolic pathway?
A
Degradable reaction which releases energy!!!
5
Q
What is induced fit?
A
Slight change in shape of active site when substrate enters
6
Q
Intracellular is?
A
Inside cell
7
Q
Extra cellular is?
A
Outside cell
8
Q
What do metabolic pathways have?
A
Alternative routes or have reversible / irreversible stages.
9
