Oriole IB ATP-Enzyme
vocab 4 energy ATP enzymes
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| ACTIVATION | type of energy needed to start any chemical reaction |
| ACTIVE SITE | the part of an enzyme that actually 'fits' the substance it works on |
| CELLS | the smallest living parts of any living organism |
| COENZYMES | organic molecules that can be used to change enzymes' shapes to make them work better |
| DIFFUSION | the random movement of particles from higher to lower concentrations |
| ENZYMES | molecules made of protein that are used to speed up chemical reactions in living cells |
| EXERGONIC | chemical reactions that give off energy - an example would be a burning candle |
| GLYCOLYSIS | energy needed to remake ATP from ADP comes from this process of breaking apart sugars |
| HYDROLYSIS | process needs water to remove a phosphate from ATP in order to release energy |
| KINETIC | also called the 'energy of motion', this is used by cells when they do work |
| LYSOSOMES | organelles that break down food using powerful enzymes |
| MULTICELLULAR | any organism that is composed of more than one cell is called this |
| NITROGEN | element that is found in adenine, but not in ribose or phosphoric acid |
| NUCLEUS | contains the genetic material (DNA) of a cell and controls all its functions |
| PHOSPHORIC ACIDS | most of the stored energy in an ATP is found between these molecules |
| POTENTIAL | type of energy that is stored in the high-energy bonds of ATP |
| RIBOSE | the five-carbon sugar that is found in an ATP molecule |
| RIBOSOMES | these organelles are necessary for producing the proteins that make up enzymes |
| SUBSTRATE | the substance that an enzyme's shape attaches to (like a key fits in a lock) |
| WATER | cytoplasm is made mostly of this; it's also given off during dehydration synthesis reactions |
| ENDERGONIC | reactions that take in more energy than they give off - an example would be an cold pack you would put on a sprained ankle |
