| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy? | Potential energy is stored energy while kinetic energy is the energy of motion |
| How is energy transferred from one molecule to another? | Each time an electron moves between molecules energy goes with it |
| What is the difference between oxidation and reduction? | Reduction is gaining an electron, while Oxidation is the loss of an electron (oxygen is the electron acceptor) |
| What is free energy? | The energy available to do work |
| What is endergonic and exergonic? | Endergonic is a reaction that requires an input of energy while, exergonis is a reaction that releases energy |
| What is an enzyme? | molecules that catalyze reactions in living cells |
| Enzymes are mostly proteins | True |
| Enzymes lower the activation energy required for a reaction? | true |
| enzymes are not changed or consumed by the reaction | true |
| enzymes interact with substrates | true |
| what is a substrate? | molecule that will undergo a reaction |
| what is an active site? | region of enzyme that binds to the substrate |
| binding of an enzyme to a substate causes the enzyme to change shape which produces a better induced fit between the molecules | true |
| What is ATP | Adenosine triphosphate it is the energy of the cells |
| what is ATP made up of? | Ribose, a 5 carbon sugar, adenine, and is a three phosphate group |
