Define endothermic and exothermic



endo - heat taken up (+ deltaH)

exo - heat released (- deltaH)

100

What is an allosteric site?

site other than the enzyme's active site


100

Which type of filament moves cells via muscle contraction or cell crawling



actin

100

Glycolysis creates __ ATP and __NADH and ___ Pyruvate

Glucose --> 2ATP + 2NADH + 2Pyruvate
200

Does entropy increase or decrease in this equation?

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O

Increases; more disorder
200

What factors affect reaction rates for an enzyme

temperature, concentration, pH



200

Proteins to be imported into the nucleus contain a ____________ on the ___ - terminal

nuclear localization sequence (NLS) on C-terminal



200

Where does the citric acid cycle occur?

mitochondria

300

How do we know a reaction is spontaneous

delta G (Gibbs free energy) is negative

300

Why does enzyme curve eventually reach a plateau?

The enzyme is saturated with substrate



300

How are adjacent cells held together (4 ways)?



Tight junctions, Desmosomes, Gap junctions, Plasmodesmata (plants only)

300

The committed step of glycolysis creates what molecule?

fructose 6-phosphate → fructose 1,6- bisphosphate

400

What is the high energy state between breaking old bonds and forming new bonds

transition state



400

Describe what an anabolic pathway does

synthesize molecules and requires energy

400

What is the function of the endomembrane system?

Protein sorting, packaging, shipping, and recycling

Includes nuclear envelope, lysosomes, vesicles, the ER, and Golgi apparatus, as well as the plasma membrane

400

In FAD --> FADH2, is FAD oxidized or reduced?

Reduced

500

Draw an energy diagram for an exergonic reaction



Where change in free energy is negative


500

Explain competitive vs non-competitive inhibition



competitive - binds to same site

non-competitive - binds to a different site (AKA allosteric inhibition)

500

What are the 3 ways lysosomes recycle proteins?



receptor-mediated endocytosis, phagocytosis aka "cell eating," and autophagy ("self-eating")



500

List the three types of organisms (variants of cellular respiration) and what they do 

Obligate anaerobes: rely entirely on anaerobic; O2 is poisonous

Facultative anaerobes: can use O2 when available but can survive using fermentation when O2 is absent

Obligate aerobes: organisms that require O2 to grow
