Question
Answer
Metabolism   The totality of an organism's chemical processes  
🗑
Catabolic Pathways   Release of energy by breaking down complex molecules into simpler compounds  
🗑
Anabolic Pathways   Consumption of energy to build complicated molecules from simpler ones  
🗑
Bioenergetics   The study of how organisms manage their energy resources  
🗑
Kinetic Energy   The energy of motion  
🗑
Potential Energy   Stored energy with the capacity to do work  
🗑
Thermodynamics   The study of the energy transformations that occur in a collection of matter  
🗑
First Law of Thermodynamics   Energy can be transferred and transformed, but can never be created or destroyed  
🗑
Second Law of Thermodynamics   Every energy transfer or transformation makes the universe more disordered  
🗑
Entropy   A measure of disorder, or randomness  
🗑
Free Energy   The portion of a system's energy that can perform work when temperature is uniform throughout the system  
🗑
Exergonic Reaction   Proceeds with a net release of free energy  
🗑
Endergonic Reaction   Absorbs free energy from it's surroundings  
🗑
Energy Coupling   The use of an exergonic process to drive an endergonic one  
🗑
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)   Nitrogenous base adenine attached to ribose attached to three phosphate groups  
🗑
Phosphorylated Intermediate   More reactive (less stable) than the original molecule due to the addition of a phosphate group  
🗑
Enzyme   A catalytic protein  
🗑
Catalyst   A chemical agent that changes the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction  
🗑
Free Energy of Activation (Activation Energy)   The initial investment of energy for starting a reaction  
🗑
Induced Fit   Bringing of chemical groups of the active site into positions that enhance their ability to catalyze the chemical reaction  
🗑
Cofactor   Nonprotein helpers for catalytic activity  
🗑
Coenzyme   An organic cofactor  
🗑
Competitive Inhibitors   Reduce the productivity of enzymes by blocking the substrate from entering active sites  
🗑
Noncompetitive Inhibitors   Does not directly compete with the substrate at the active site. Instead, they impede enzymatic reactions by bonding to another part of the enzyme  
🗑
Allosteric Site   A specific receptor site on some part of the molecule remote from the active site  
🗑
Feedback Inhibition   Switching off of a metabolic pathway by its end product, which acts as an inhibitor of an enzyme within the pathway  
🗑


   

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.
