Energy
The capacity to do work or cause matter to move.
What is energy?
Acronym for learning which molecule goes through reduction and oxidation
What is OIL RIG?
An example of this is lipase.
What is an enzyme?
An example of this type of energy is stored in atomic bonds that are metastable.
What is potential energy?
Gproducts - Greactants
What is the change in gibbs free energy?
A type of reaction that involves transferring electrons from reducing agent to an oxidizing agent
What is a redox reaction?
The substrate of this enzyme is H2O2.
What is catalase?
The type of reaction that involves transferring electrons between species in a chemical reaction where there is a process of gaining electrons or a decrease in the oxidation state by an element.
What is a reduction reaction?
686 kcal/mol
What is the amount of energy in 1 glucose molecule?
This molecule oxidizes another molecule.
What is a reducing agent?
The area of a specific order of residue and side chains that will help bind to substrate.
What is an active site?
A example of cellular work that does indirectly requires energy.
What is maintaining heat flow?
This type of reaction has less Gproduct than Greactant (less energy in products).
What is a thermodynamically favorable/spontaneous reaction?
The state in which electrons in a molecule are satisfied enough to stay in its existing bond but has still has potential energy.
What is a metastable state?
Catalase carries this to help distort H2O2 bonds.
What is iron/Fe?
Biosynthesis of glucose would require energy and have this change in gibbs free energy.
What is a positive change in gibbs free energy?
Without this, molecules would not be in a metastable state and would be overly reactive.
What is a transition state?
What is exergonic?
This type of cellular work requires energy in the form of ATP and is used to concentrate molecules against the natural electrochemical gradient.
An example of a molecule that is in its most oxidized state (the only one we talked about in class).
What is carbon dioxide?
