intro to energy, enzymes and metabolism
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Kinetic Energy | energy of motion is doing work. moving matter. |
| Potential Energy | is stored energy that can be used later. |
| electrons have | potentials energy that can be used in chemical reactions |
| Chemical energy | potential energy that is stored in a molecule. |
| Thermodynamics | is the study of energy transformation within a system. |
| Endergonic reactions | require energy. energy is absorbed by the reactants and stored in chemical bonds of products. photosynthesis. |
| Photosynthesis is a series of | endergonic reactions. |
| Exergonic reactions | release energy. the reactants have energy stored in chemical bonds, when those bonds are broken, energy is released. cellular respiration. |
| Cellular respiration | exergonic reactions. glucose broken down into ATP, perform work. |
| ATP structure | Nitrogenous base - adenine sugar - ribose 3 phosphate groups |
| cells metabolism | sum of all the chems reactions endergonic and exergonic in cell. |
| phosphorylation | is the addition of a phosphate group to a protein. |
| Enzymes are necessary to | speed up chemical reactions. |
| Enzymes is a | protein catalyst that lowers energy of activation for a reaction to take place. |
| enzymes do not | add energy to the reaction/ get used up during the reaction. they remain uncharged. |
| every enzymes has only one substrate | one molecule or type of molecule that it can recognize and bind to. |
| the region on the enzyme that the substrate binds to is called the | active site. |
| Electron transport molecule (NAD+) | picks up hydrogen atoms from one molecule and give them to another. |
| NAD+ is the | oxidized form, low in energy, without any additional energy from electrons |
| NADH is | reduced, high in energy, with two electrons that it can donate to other molecules. |
