Exam 2 Biology

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Energy   is the capacity to do work either actively or stored for later use.  
🗑
Energy   is transferred with electrons  
🗑
Oxidation   is the loss of an electron  
🗑
Reduction   is the gain of one electron  
🗑
Oxidation   less stored energy  
🗑
Reduction   more stored energy  
🗑
Kinetic   energy that can work actively  
🗑
Potentail   energy stored for later use  
🗑
Exergonic   an energy yielding process  
🗑
Exothermic   a heat yielding process  
🗑
Exophotic   light yielding process  
🗑
Endergonic   an energy requiring process  
🗑
Endothermic   heat requiring process  
🗑
Endophotic   light requiring process  
🗑
Entropy   a measure of randomness in a system it takes energy input to maintain a complex organized (non random) system (hence why you decay when you die and no longer have energy to maintain your organized state) great comparison to a child's room  
🗑
Free energy   energy which is available to do work ( that is what you want to do) because it is not already in some designed form such as heat or light  
🗑
Gibbs free energy exchange   the change in heat content minus the changer in entropy (randomness,S) multiplied by the absolute temperature  
🗑
First Law of Thermodynamics or called the Law of Conservation   states that the total energy in the universe is constant and therefore energy can not be created nor destroyed only change its form  
🗑
First Law of Thermodynamics or called the Law of Conservation   E=mc^2  
🗑
Second Law of Thermodynamics (Energy)   states that in the universe the total amount of free energy available for dong work is declining  
🗑
Second Law of Thermodynamics (Energy)   primary because this energy is being lost in some other energy form such as light or heat in essence you have to eat more than you need because 2?3 of the energy in your food is given off as heat when you break larger molecules into smaller monomer  
🗑
Oxidation   electron is moved to a lower energy level and therefore energy is released during oxidation does not always involve oxygen  
🗑
Reduction   electron is moved to higher energy level and this requires an input of energy this energy is noted so a molecule or compound like methane is full of potential energy while the end result of burning oxidation methane which forms carbon dioxide has noenergy  
🗑
metabolism   the sum of all energy exchanges that occur through chemical reactions in a living cell; equal to anabolism + catabolism  
🗑
anabolism   all chemical reactions involved in biosynthesis  
🗑
catabolism   all chemical reactions involved in the degradation of larger molecules  
🗑
enzymes   globular water soluble proteins which lower the activation energy of chemical reactions in living cells thereby speeding up chemical reaction  
🗑
enzymes   acts as a catalysts by facilitating reaction without being altered and can be reused as needed  
🗑
Biochemical Pathways   involve many enzymes  
🗑
enzymes   normally end with "ase"  
🗑
cofactors   most enzymes require additional substances called what to function properly  
🗑
cofactors   are divided into inorganic ions and organic coenzymes (like vitamins)  
🗑
cofactors   change the shape of enzymes to help them fit and process their respective substrate  
🗑
vitamin coenzymes   aid in the transference of hydrogen or various functional groups  
🗑
ATP   adenosine triphosphate  
🗑
ATP   formed by having the nitrogenous base adenine hooked up to a five-carbon ribulose sugar and three phosphate groups  
🗑
ATP   this is how your body stores its energy highest energy sides between the second and third phosphate groups  
🗑
ATP   can be made either by hooking an inorganic phosphate (P) group onto ADP or hooking two inorganic phosphate groups (PP) onto AMP in a two- step process that makes ADP first  
🗑
phosphorylation   is the making of ATP  
🗑
photophosphorylation   the use of light to make ATP  
🗑
oxidative phosphorylation   the use of oxygen to make ATP  
🗑
Enzymes   remember that all what are globular water-soluble proteins made up of amino acid monomers some enzymes are actually enzyme complexes made up of many subunits  
🗑
enzymes   act on specific substrates to produce and enzyme-substrate (E-S) complex which then gives rise to specific products  
🗑
substrates   sizes don't matter  
🗑
Active site   is where the enzyme chemically alters the substrate  
🗑
Active site   is composed of a positioning site plus the catalytic site  
🗑
positioning site   a site for rotating the molecule  
🗑
catalytic site   for chemically altering the substrate this site may also involve one or more cofactors  
🗑
catalysts   does not change itself can use it over and over again  
🗑
catalysts   enzymes are what which affect (usually quicken the rate of a reaction) but do not chemically change themselves during the reaction and so can be used again  
🗑
enzymes   have an optimum temperature and a optimum pH  
🗑
optimum temp for enzymes   37 degrees C = 98.6 degrees F  
🗑
enzymes   will denature if the temperature or pH is too high or too low  
🗑
Allosteric Interaction   other shape  
🗑
Allosteric Interaction   allosteric effete site besides active site  
🗑
Allosteric Interaction   allosteric effectors can be cofactors, co enzymes, or a product made by the enzyme  
🗑
Allosteric Interaction   a common method for regulating the rate of enzyme function in your body  
🗑
Allosteric Interaction   involved in negative feedback control of enzymes/hormones  
🗑
Competitive Inhibition   reversible  
🗑
Competitive Inhibition   chemically related substrate occupies the active site  
🗑
Competitive Inhibition   morphine addiction (brain normally produces endorphins and encephalins)  
🗑
Noncompetitive Inhibition   referable if treated in time  
🗑
Noncompetitive Inhibition   a chemically related substrate occupies another site besides the active site (usually the allosteric effector site) to cause a temporary change in the enzyme shape  
🗑
Noncompetitive Inhibition   snake/spider venoms (many of these look like coenzyme vitamins)  
🗑
Irreversible Inhibition   binding of chemically active substances to key R-groups which causes permanent damage/death  
🗑
Irreversible Inhibition   nerve gas; arsenic; penicillin destroying bacteria  
🗑


   

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.
