Basic Energy
The ability to do work or bring about a change.
What is energy?
The sum of chemical reactions in cells.
What is metabolism?
The reactants of an enzymatically catalyzed reaction.
What are substrates?
A→E1→B→E2→C
What is a metabolic pathway?
Organelle responsible for cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
Energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
Building of molecules
What is anabolism?
What happens to enzymes in not optimal conditions.
What is denaturation?
Where most catabolism occurs in the body.
What is the digestive system?
Where energy is stored in an ATP molecule.
What is between the second and third phosphates?
Stored energy.
What is potential/chemical energy?
Breaking down of molecules.
What is catabolism?
The enzyme changes shape slightly to better fit the substrate.
What is the induced fit model?
The final product attaches to a previous enzyme.
What is enzyme inhibition?
Increases the rate of a reaction
What is an enzyme?
Energy can't be created or destroyed, but only change forms.
What is the first law of thermodynamics?
The disorganization of a system.
What is entropy?
An organic compound used to help an enzyme.
What is a coenzyme?
Making or breaking chemical bonds, transporting molecules, and contracting muscles
Where ATP is used?
Main product of cellular respiration.
What is ATP?
When energy is transformed, there is a loss of energy to do work.
What is the second law of thermodynamics?
Molecule that is the energy currency of cells.
What is Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)?
Enzymes are mostly this type of molecule
What is protein
Where a substrate attaches to an enzyme.
What is an active site?
Substrate oxidized by mitochondria to form ATP.
What is glucose?
