Random
100

This metabolic pathway releases energy by breaking down complex molecules into simpler compounds.

Catabolic Pathway

100

This is another way to describe the role of an enzyme in reactions in that they help to speed them up.

Catalyst

100

This is the type of macromolecule that makes up things like enzymes.

Proteins

100

This type of cell has no nucleus or membrane bound organelles.

Prokaryotic cell

100

This type of reaction releases energy, an example would be cellular respiration.

Exergonic Reaction

200

This metabolic pathway consumes energy by building complex molecules from simpler compounds.

Anabolic Pathway

200

This is the area where a substrate will bind in an enzyme.

Active Site

200

This functional group is COOH.

Carboxyl

200

These 3 cell organelles have double membranes.

Nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplast

200

This type of reaction absorbs energy, an example is photosynthesis.

Endergonic Reaction

300

This Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, on transferred or transformed.

1st Law

300

This is when an enzyme will change the shape of their active site to allow a substrate to bind better.

Induced fit

300

This type of reaction builds polymers from monomers, creating water as a product.

Dehydration Synthesis

300

This organelle is responsible for detoxification, lipid synthesis, and carbohydrate breakdown.

Smooth ER

300

This is a non-protein molecule that can assist in enzyme function, and include things like coenzymes.

Cofactors

400

This Law of Thermodynamics states that energy transformations increase the entropy or disorder of the universe, often lost as heat.

2nd Law

400

This type of inhibitor blocks the active site of an enzyme from binding to a substrate. 

Competitive Inhibitor

400

This type of lipid has no double bonds, and is very linear in nature.

Saturated fatty acid

400

This is the ratio that determines if cells are more suitable for storage, or increased traffic of materials in and out.

SA:V Ratio

400

This is the type of ribosome that creates enzymes.

Free floating ribosomes

500

This is the name of the equation that determines the likelihood of reactions in organisms, or if they are energetically favorable.

Gibbs Free Energy Equation

500

This is the site of an enzyme where a noncompetitive inhibitor or activator can bind.

Allosteric Site

500

This property of water is the reason all other properties exist.

Polarity

500

This type of active transport couples the favorable movement of one particle with the unfavorable movement of another.

Cotransport

500

This is the organelle that contains enzymes like catalase.
