Biology

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Endothermic reaction   A reaction that requires energy input  
🗑
Exothermic reaction   A reaction that gives off energy  
🗑
Enzymes (4 Characteristics)   -Lower activation energy of a reaction. -Increase the rate of the reaction. -Do not affect the overall (delta)G or (delta)H of the reaction -Are not changed or consumed in the course of the reaction  
🗑
Apoenzymes   Enzymes without their cofactors  
🗑
Holoenzymes   Enzymes that contain their cofactors  
🗑
Allosteric Enzymes   An enzymes that has multiple binding sites. The active site is present, as well as at least one other site that can regulate the availability of the active site  
🗑
Allosteric activators   An activator will result in a shift that makes the active site more available for binding to the substrate  
🗑
Allosteric inhibitors   An inhibitor will result in a shift that makes the active site less available for binding to the substrate.  
🗑
Feedback Inhibition   In feedback inhibition, the product may bind to an enzyme or enzymes that acted earlier in its biosynthetic pathway, thereby making the enzyme unavailable for other substrate to use.  
🗑
Competitive Inhibition [How can it be overcome?]   An enzyme inhibitor that binds to the active site, thus competing with substrate. [It can be overcome by adding more substrate]  
🗑
Noncompetitive Inhibition [How is it overcome?]   An enzyme inhibitor that binds to an allosteric site instead of the active site, which induces a change in enzyme conformation. [Cannot be overcome by adding more substrate. Can't be overcome at all]  
🗑
Irreversible Inhibition   An enzyme inhibitor that binds to the active site and makes it permanently unavailable.  
🗑
Zymogen/Proenzymes   An inactive enzyme precursor.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
