Chapter 6 (6.1, 6.2, & 6.3)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| (6.1) How do physicists view energy? | They view energy as the capacity to do work. |
| (6.1) How do biochemists view energy? | They view energy as the capacity for change. |
| (6.1) What is potential energy? | is the energy of the state of position that is, stored energy. |
| (6.1) What is kinetic energy? | is the energy of movement that is, the type of energy that does work. |
| (6.1) What does an anabolic reaction do? | links simple molecules to form complex molecules. |
| (6.1) What does a catabolic reaction do? | is the break down of complex molecules into simplier ones, and releases the energy stored in chemical bonds. |
| (6.1) What is the first law of Thermodynamics? | it states that in any conversion of energy, the amount of energy is neither created nor destroyed. (just transforms energy) |
| (6.1) What is the second law of Thermodynamics? | it states that when energy is converted from one form to the another, some of the energy becomes unavailable to do work. |
| (6.1) What does an exergonic reaction do? is it catabolic or anabolic reaction? | it releases energy-catabolic reactions |
| (6.1) What does an endergonic reaction do? is is a catabolic or anabolic reaction? | it consumes energy-anabolic reactions |
| (6.1) What is a chemical equilibrium? | is any state of balanced opposing forces and no net change. |
| (6.1) What is free energy? | is the energy which is available to do work. |
| (6.1) What is metabolism? | is the sum total of all chemical reactions in an organism. |
| (6.2) What is the role of ATP in Biochemist Energestics? | is to capture and transfer free energy that cells need to do chemical work. "energy currency" |
| (6.2) How is ATP stored? | it is stored within the bonds of the phosphates. |
| (6.2) How does ATP hydrolysis work? | by releasing energy by dissconnecting the phosphate to make protein. |
| (6.2) What is phosphorylate? | is to donate a phosphate groups to other molecules. EX: sodium potassium pump |
| (6.2) What type of organic compound is ATP? | a nucleotide |
| (6.2) What does Hydrolysis of ATP yield? | it yields free energy. (ATP+H2O->ADP+P+Free energy) |
| (6.2) What is the difference between AMP, ADP, and ATP? | AMP= 1 phosphateADP= 2 phosphatesATP= 3 phosphates |
| (6.3) What is an enzyme? | it is a protein, and on the surface of which chemical groups arrange to make the enzyme a catalyst for chemical reaction. |
| (6.3) What is an energy barrier? | it is the amount of energy required to start a reaction. |
| (6.3) What is activation energy? | is the energy barrier that blocks the tendancy for a set of chemical substances to react. |
| (6.3) What does Ea do? | changes the reactants into unstable forms with higher free energy. |
| (6.3) What is another name for reactants? | substrates |
| (6.3) TRUE or FALSE- The 3D shape of enzymes does not determine its use. | False- the 3D shape does determine the enzyme's use. |
| (6.3) What type of bonds hold molecules in an enzymes active cite? | Hydrogen bonds, covalent bonds, and electric attraction. |
| (6.3) TRUE or FALSE- Enzymes can change with substrate, but later go back to original size. | True |
| (6.3) TRUE or FALSE- Enzymes lower energy barriers. | True |
| (6.3) TRUE or FALSE-Enzymes catalysts' reactions do not proceed toward equilibrium. | False-they do proceed towards equilibrium. |
