All About Enzymes
mostly proteins, these speed up biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy
What is an Enzyme
The amount of energy needed to make a chemical reaction start
What is Activation Energy
The independent variable in our experiment
What is the Independent Variable
The elongated term for ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate
The part of the cell that makes proteins
What are Ribosomes
All of the chemical reactions within each cell of an organism
What is metabolism
Breaking a bond requires energy to be...
What is Absorbed
What is the first trial or picking the penny with one hand solo
Energy is released from an ATP molecule for cellular processes when it...
what is when it loses a phosphate
A solution that has more solute than a cell
What is Hypertonic
break down larger molecules into simpler compounds --> a release in energy = exergonic
What is Catabolism or a Catabolic Reaction
absorbs energy (in the form of heat or light)
What is an Endothermic reaction
The taped hand without the baseball
What is denatured
The three parts that make up ATP
What are a ribose sugar, adenine (nitrogen base), and 3 phosphates
a cell has 16 chromosomes after mitosis both daughter cells will have...
what is 16 chromosomes each
The molecule that an enzyme binds to is known as its...
What is a Substrate
Cellular Respeiration is an example of what kind of reaction?
What is an Exothermic Reaction
The taped hand WITH the baseball
What is the competitive inhibitor
The macromolecule that is digested 2nd
what are fats or lipids
the type of tumor that can cause cancer to spread to the whole body
what is a malignant tumor
Competes with substrate for the active site on the enzyme
What is a competitive inhibitor
Name this reaction:
6H2O + 6CO2 ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is Photosynthesis
Another person helping pick up pennies
What is the coenzyme
The only thing recycled during the ATP-ADP cycle
What is a phosphate
Smoking, too much sun, or asbestos
what are carcinogens
