the title says it all :)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| In the 2nd law of thermodynamics,Every time energy is transformed, some of it is what? | lost as heat. |
| cellular respiration is and example of catabolic pathways or anabolic pathways? | Catabolic pathways because glucose is being broken down in to carbon dioxide and water |
| catabolic pathways go with downhill reactions just as anabolic pathways go with..... | uphill reactions |
| the structure of ATP includes what three parts? | adenine molecule, ribose sugar, and triphophate tail |
| plants use the _________ as a source of energy to "recycle" ADP + P > ATP | sun |
| animals use _________ as the soucre of energy to "recycle" ADP + P > ATP | food |
| exergonic is energy that is released from reactants because products have _____________ than reactants | less energy |
| reactants gain energy because products have more energy than reactants. Is this exergonic or endergonic? | endergonic |
| why do enzymes make reactions run faster? | because they lower the amount of activation energy required for the reaction. |
| you can increase the rate of a chemical reaction by using what? | a catalyst |
| the speed of enzymes-mediated reactions is affected by numerous factors. what are these factors? (7) | substrate concentration, temperature, pH, cofactors, coenzymes, competitive inhibiors, and noncompetitive inhibitors |
| Metabolism is an entire collection of chemical reactions that occur in what? | in living organisms |
| enzymes are usually made up of what? | proteins |
| an example of the 1st law of thermodynamics? | the electric company because is does not make energy, but merely converts it to a from that is convenient for us to use |
| the first law of thermodynamics states from one type to another, but it can not do what? | it cannot be created or destroyed |
