        Help!  

Question
Answer
Collective chemical process that occur within the cell to accomplish such activities   Cellular Metabolism  
🗑
Energy of Motion:   Kinetic Energy  
🗑
Stored Energy   Potential Energy  
🗑
Energy Can Not Be Created Or Destroyed   First Law of Thermodynamics  
🗑
Closed system would move towards disorder or entropy as energy is dissipated from the system   Second Law of Thermodynamics  
🗑
Energy available to do work has operational definition especially useful for biochemists to explain energy changes in chemical reactions:   Free Energy  
🗑
Spontanneous reactions in cells that release free energy in cells...   Exergonic  
🗑
Reactions that require addition of free energy   Endergonic  
🗑
Catalysts of the living world are...   Enzymes  
🗑
The rate of molecular collisions in the system increases as....   temperature goes up which is also one of the ways to activate chemical reactants; dramatic temperature changes may be not suitable for biological reactions.  
🗑
Living systems use.... () in chemical reactions   catalyst  
🗑
What are the most important properties of enzymes for biochemist?   1. Enzyme only affect THE REACTION RATE 2. They DO NOT alter the free energy change of a reaction. Thus, they DO NOT change the PROPORTIONS OF REACTANTS AND PRODUCTS in the reaction.  
🗑
Molecular weight of enzymes....   VARIES tremendously from 10,000 with molecular weights to 1 million  
🗑
A required substrate substance in the activation of an enzyme; a prosthetic or non protein constituent of enzyme   Coenzyme  
🗑
What are the typical examples of Coenzymes?   B complex vitamins are coenzymatic compounds.  
🗑
Binding of enzyme to substrate forms a...   Enzyme-Substrate complex  
🗑
The substance upon which an enzyme acts; also a base or foundation; a substance or base on which an organism grows...   Substrate  
🗑
One of the distinctive properties of enzymes is their...   High Specificity  
🗑
As proteolytic enzyme pepsin degrades proteins into amino acids in undergoes the...   catabolic reaction  
🗑
Reaction that involves resynthesizing of amino acids...   anabolic reaction  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
