🗑
Anabolic reactions that link up molecules   Ligases (LI for ligase or link)  
🗑
Three parts of enzyme that make up a holoenzyme   Cofactor (inorganic), Coenzyme (organic), Apoenzyme (protein)  
🗑
The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme to form an...   enzyme/substrate complex  
🗑
Term that means the clamping down, or binding, of a substrate onto an enzyme that changes its shape   induced fit  
🗑
things that can influence the rate of enzymatic reactions   Temp, pH, enzyme/substrate concentration, presence of inhibitors  
🗑
Substance that blocks an enzyme's active site, preventing a substrate from using the site without denaturing enzymes   Competitive inhibitor  
🗑
Substance that can bind to an enzyme other than the active site, changing the shape of the active site that may make it active or inactive   Allosteric inhibitor or activator  
🗑
Inhibition where a high level of product causes product to act as allosteric inhibitor in its own primary enzyme, thereby preventing more production of that product   feedback inhibition, a noncompetitive inhibition  
🗑
Glucose is the most common carbohydrate catabolized for energy in either of these two processes   Cellular respiration and fermentation, both initiated by glycolysis  
🗑
another name for glycolysis   Embden Meyerhoff Pathway  
🗑
Where does glycolysis occur   in the cytoplasm of most cells  
🗑
What happens in glycolysis?   a 6-C sugar is split into 2 3-C sugar molecules called pyruvate  
🗑
What is the relationship between dihydroxyacetone Phosphate and Glyceraldehyde 3-Phpsphate   They are isomers, and the DHAP will become the G3P, so they both will behave the same for the remainder of the glycolysis process  
🗑
Name the two major classes or metabolic reaction   Catabolism (breaking down) and anabolism (biosynthesis)  
🗑
an electron acceptor is said to be...   reduced. It accepted an electron, with has a negative charge, therefore it reduced it's charge  
🗑
An electron donor is said to be...   Oxidized.  
🗑
What are the three ways a chemical can be oxidized?   Loss of an electron, loss of a hydrogen atom, gain of an oxygen atom  
🗑
Phosphorylation where phosphate from one organic compound is transfered to ADP   Substrate level  
🗑
Phosphorylation where energy from redox reactions attach inorganic phosphate to ADP   Oxidative  
🗑
Phosphorylation where light energy adds inorganic phosphate to ADP   PHOTOphosphorylation  
🗑
Organic catalysts   Enzymes  
🗑
An enzyme's substrate is...   the molecule which that enzyme works upon  
🗑
what does a hydrolase do?   add water molecules in decomposition process of hydrolysis (catabolic)  
🗑
what does isomerase do?   rearrange atoms in a molecule without adding or removing anything (neither anabolic nor catabolic)  
🗑
What do ligases and polymerases do?   join two molecules together (anabolic)  
🗑
What dos lyase do?   split large molecules (catabolic)  
🗑
What does Oxidoreductase do?   Remove/oxidize and add/reduce electrons to substrates. (anabolic and catabolic)  
🗑
What does transferase do?   transfer functional groups from one molecule to another (neither anabolic nor catabolic)  
🗑
In what way do enzymes alter activation energy?   They lower the activation energy necessary to trigger a chemical reaction. If the activation energy requirement remained high, it would cook the cell (heat=energy)  
🗑
What is the induced-fit model of enzymes?   A description of enzyme-substrate specificity referring to the change of shape when bound, as if the "lock" had grasped the "key"  
🗑
What type of inhibitor binds to an allosteric site, changing the shape of an enzyme so that it cannot work on its substrate?   Noncompetitive inhibitor, because it isn't competing for the same active site  
🗑
What type of noncompetitive inhibitor might change an enzyme's substrate?   excitatory. When the inhibitor binds to the alosteric site, it changes the enzyme in such a way that the active site's shape now works for a different enzyme.  
🗑
What type of noncompetitive inhibitor was once an end-product of the reaction specific to its own enzyme/substrate reaction?   Feedback inhibition, also negative feedback, or end-product inhibition  
🗑
When glucose is catabolized via cellular respiration, what are the end products?   CO2 and H2O  
🗑
When glucose is catabolized via fermentation, what are the end products?   organic waste  
🗑
What are the products of the lysis stage of glycolysis?   Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate  
🗑
In glycolysis, a phosphate molecule is transfered from the PEP to the ADP forming ATP. What is this direct transfer called?   Substrate-level phosphorylation  
🗑
What is the net energy yield of glycolysis?   2 ATP and 2 NADH  
🗑
After glucose has been oxidized, the cell uses the resultant pyruvic acid molecules to complete either...   cellular respiration or fermentation  
🗑
This is a metabolic process that involves the complete oxidation of substrate molecules and the production of ATP by a series of redox reactions.   Cellular Respiration  
🗑
What happens in the Transition, or Acetyl-CoA stage?   Acetyl-CoA is synthesized by the decarboxylation of pyruvic acid. This produces one CO2 and one NADH.  
🗑
Where does the Krebs Cycle occur in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?   Prokaryotes: cytosol. Eukaryotes: Mitochondrial matrix  
🗑
2 other names for the Krebs Cycle   tricarboxylic acid cycle, citric acid cycle  
🗑
In an organism where the final electron acceptor of the ETC is O2, which combines to generate H2o, these organisms are called...   Aerobes, conducting aerobic respiration  
🗑
What is the final electron acceptor of anaerobic respiration?   Some inorganic molecule other than O2, like sulfide gas, Nitrogen, or methane.  
🗑

🗑
