17
Q

for cells to survive they need what 4 things

A

energy
C molecules
catalyst
info

18
Q

what’s the first law of thermodynamics

A

energy cannot be created or destroyed so energy of a closed system remains constant

19
Q

what’s the second law of thermodynamics

A

the sum of the entropies in a closed system must increase

20
Q

do cells obey the second law of thermodynamics

A

yes, sacrifices available energy to increase entropy

21
Q

which type of reaction needs energy

A

anabolic reactions

22
Q

which type of reaction doesn’t need energy

A

catabolic reactions

23
Q

when a reaction start what is ΔG

A

positive value

24
Q

what are the 3 stages of enzyme action

A

association
catalysis
dissociation

25
Q

are cofactor or cosubstrates affected by a enzyme action

A

cosubstrates

26
Q

how does fermentation produce ATP

A

converts NADH to NAD+ for glycolysis

27
Q

what is the glycolytic switch

A

when a cell switches from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism

28
Q

what can the glycolytic switch help cancer cells for

A

Walburg effect
