Enzymes and Energy-H
Energy conversions and enzyme functions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Photosynthesis | Conversion of RADIANT energy into CHEMICAL energy. |
| Cellular Respiration | Conversion of CHEMICAL energy to CHEMICAL energy |
| Glucose | Chemical energy |
| ATP | Chemical energy (nucleic acid) made during cell respiration |
| Reactants | elements or compounds that we START with to create products |
| Products | elements or compounds that are made/ created from reactants |
| Mitochondria | organelle that uses a carbohydrate to make ATP |
| Chloroplast | organelle that makes glucose |
| Products of photosynthesis | oxygen and glucose (sugar) |
| Products of cellular respiration | carbon dioxide |
| Enzyme Biomolecule | Protein |
| Inhibitors | block or change the active site so substrate can't bind |
| Denatured Enzyme | Active site shape changes due to not being at an optimal temperature or pH |
| Enzyme Activation Energy | lower energy needed |
| Catalyst | enzymes speed up the rate of a chemical reaction |
| Lock and Key | The enzymes are specific to the substrate and process they are involved in |
| Competitive Inhibitor | A substance that reduces the activity of an enzyme by entering the active site in place of the substrate whose structure it mimics. |
| Noncompetitive Inhibitor | A substance that reduces the activity of an enzyme by binding to a location away from the active site |
| Aerobic Respiration | Uses oxygen to produce LOTS of ATP quickly in the mitochondria |
| Anaerobic Respiration | Happens without oxygen to produce LESS ATP for a limited amount of time (happens in the cytoplasm) |
