Energy and Enzymes

TermDefinition
Metabolic Pathway Chemical Reactions that occur in cells/organisms create these. Shows a series of linked/coupled pathways.
Anabolic Metabolism Small molecules assembled into larger ones. Needs energy. (Synthesis)
Catabolic Metabolism Large Molecules broken down into small ones. Energy released (degradation)
ATP Adenosine Triphosphate
ADP Adenosine Diphosphate
Entropy Energy cannot be changed from one form to another without a loss of energy
Activation Energy (Ea) The energy input required to turn reactants into products
Enzymes Protein-based molecules used by cells to input activation energy (Ea) for energy conservation.
Feedback Inhibition When a product is abundant, it can compete with substrate for an active site. In a chain of enzymes, an enzyme from the final phase can "shut down" the 1st enzyme.
Enzyme Inhibition when an enzyme is prevented from working with its respective substrate. Less product is made. Two types: Competitive and Noncompetitive.
Competitive Inhibition Inhibitor molecule gets in the way of the substrate.
Noncompetitive Inhibition Inhibitor molecule attaches to the regulatory site which changes the shape of the active site. No binding - enzyme changes shape.
Enzyme Denaturation Env. changes causes the enzymes to change shapes and reduces production.
Enzyme Specificity Enzymes can only bind to substrate based on the shape of the active site.
Enzyme Substrate Complex What it is called when the substrate binds the enzyme at the active site.
Induced Fit Mechanism of internal bonds created in protein folding by which the enzyme fits in with its substrate and is held in place while it is metabolized.
Cellular Respiration Occurs when the cell processes food, the 3rd phosphate is added to the ADP to make it ATP. Energy is released.
Oxidation Reduction The movement of hydrogen with its 1 electron. OIL RIG
OIL RIG (ReDox) Oxidation Is Loss (electrons) Reduction Is Gain (electrons) - reduction in charge
Exergonic Spontaneous reaction that release energy. Negative Delta G because the reactants have more free energy than the products.
Endergonic These are reaction that require an energy input. They are Positive Delta G because it requires energy from other sources.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
