| Exergonic Reaction | when the addition of free energy from the environment is required for the reaction to proceed. |
| Organisms couple ________ reactions because many vital cellular processes would not proceed without energy input | exergonic and endergonic |
| What is a catalyst? | An agent that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction without being permanently changed by the reaction |
| If the activation energy of a chemical reaction is lowered it will: | increase the rate of the reaction and not change the direction |
| In a chemical reaction, an enzyme's ______ must change before it can catalyze the conversion of reactants to products. | shape |
| When a water molecule is used to remove a phosphate group from ATP | Hydrolysis of ATP |
| removal of electrons | Oxidation |
| addition of electrons | reduction |
| The fate of a chemical reaction is determined by two main factors | direction and rate |
| oxidized molecules | They have fewer electrons and less energy than reduced molecules. |
| spontaneous reactions | exergonic reactions |
