It's All ATP to Me
What is carbon dioxide?
This kind of reaction releases energy
What is a catabolic reaction?
The kind of energy a pendulum has just before it swings
What is potential energy?
These reactions have a positive ∆G
What are endergonic reactions?
What is a substrate?
This plant-based molecule provides energy for cells.
What is glucose?
This kind of reaction requires energy to build molecules
What is an anabolic reaction?
The type of energy a pendulum has just after it has been released
What is kinetic energy?
These types of reactions release free energy
What are exergonic reactions?
This inhibitor binds to an enzyme away from the active site and causes a change in conformation that prevents the substrate for binding.
What is an allosteric inhibitor?
ATP is stored long-term in these
What are chemical bonds?
The breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and water represents what kind of reaction?
catabolic reaction
The type of energy a pendulum has mid-swing, exactly between the two ends
What is potential and kinetic energy?
This energy is available for endergonic reactions or released during exergonic reactions
What is free energy?
This kind of inhibition occurs when an inhibitor binds to the active site and blocks substrate binding.
What is competitive inhibition?
In addition to ATP, cells also use this molecule for energy
What is NADPH?
What is an anabolic reaction?
These kind of reactions explain the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
What are exergonic reactions?
This kind of cell has twice the number of chromosomes than a haploid cell.
What is a diploid cell?
An organism's traits are determined by the specific combination of these carriers of inheritance?
What are genes?
The first level of DNA organization in a eukaryotic cell is maintained by these molecules.
What are histones?
