| Peroxisomes | sites of oxidation reactions (contain an enzyme called catalase to detoxify hydrogen peroxide) |
| How do the appropriate enzymes and other proteins necessary for those functions get to the correct organelle? | a)organelle proteins have sequences of amino acids that identify them as “belonging” to an organelle b)cytoplasmic protein binds to “addresses” and bring the protein to c)receptors in the membrane of the target organelle that then open up to let enter |
| Actin filaments | The smallest cytoskeletal elements , also known as microfilaments often interact with myosin interactions can cause cell movements such as cytokinesis and cytoplasmic streaming |

| microtubules | is a motor protein that uses these as tracks |
| what do Shuttle proteins called exportins do? | help molecules containing a nuclear export signal to exit the nucleus. This process is almost exactly the reverse of import. |

| If ΔG is negative | , the reaction is exergonic and spontaneous. |
| If ΔG is positive | , the reaction is endergonic and not spontaneous. |
| If ΔG = 0, | the reaction is at equilibrium |
| Energetic coupling | allows nonspontaneous reactions to occur by pairing them with spontaneous reactions. Two basic types. A. Redox reactions transfer energy via electrons. B. ATP transfers energy via phosphate groups |
| ATP transfers energy via phosphate groups | When ATP is hydrolyzed, the terminal phosphate is released in a highly exergonic reaction. |
| How do Enzymes Work? | 1. Enzymes bring substrates together 2. Enzymes lower the activation energy. |
| Enzyme catalysis is a three-step process: | 1.Initiation:enzyme orients substrates as interact with R-groups in active site 2.Transition-state facilitation: between substrate and active site maximized as transition state forms 3.Termination:products low affinity for the active site, released. |
| “energetic coupling” | when enzymes couple an exergonic reaction to an endergonic reaction” |
| 2 types of energetic coupling | 1. Sometimes high energy electrons are transferred temporarily to carrier molecule, which picks up protons as well 2.Energy comes from transfer of a high energ phosphate group from ATP to one substrate to increase the potential energy of the substrates |
| feedback inhibition | when the product of one step acts as an allosteric inhibitor of the enzyme that catalyzes a previous step) |
| Glycolysis | (from glycose, an older term for glucose + -lysis degradation) is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose C6H12O6, into pyruvate, CH3COCOO− + H+. |
| cellular respiration | making ATP in the presence of oxygen |
| Fermentation pathways | allow cells to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis |
| Glucose in cellular respiration (Glycolysis) | 2 atp added which makes it less stable and allows it to be broken down into two pyruvate after split two more phosphates added and a proton and two electrons leave and attach to NAD+ creating 2NADH the 4 phosphates attached yield 4 ATP |
