100

This is energy that is stored in an object’s position or
location

Potential Energy

100

Substrates attach to enzymes by a process called
 

binding

Binding of a substrate involves the formation of non-covalent bonds between the enzyme and substrate

100

In cellular respiration, glucose is broken
down in the presence of oxygen to form
 

carbon dioxide and water

100

Processing of pyruvate happens in the  

mitochondrial matrix

100

Respiration: Glucose and oxygen molecules are _____ _____ into carbon dioxide and water

broken down

200

If ΔH is positive then the reaction

absorbs kinetic energy from its environment

200

The reactants of a chemical reaction are called the  

substrates

200

Energy storage in cells depends upon
a process called  

the ATP-ADP cycle

200

The proteins of the electron transport chain are found in the

mitochondrial inner
membrane

200

Inside the double membrane is water-based
interior called the  

stroma

300

Typically, when a covalent bond is broken down by the cell, the ______ _____ energy in that bond released as  ________
_______ into the environment

Chemical potential 

kinetic energy


300

Competitive Inhibition and how it works

Competitive inhibition is enzyme regulation.
• This type of regulation does not involve
conformational shifts 

 this type, a regulatory molecule made by

the cell can bind to the enzyme’s active site

• When the regulatory molecule is bound the

substrates cannot bind

• If the substrates cannot bind the enzyme

cannot perform the chemical reaction




300

As ATP starts to be used up by the cell what happens 

ATP levels will decrease and so the cell will need to start making
more ATP again

300

The cell will want to shut down pyruvate processing if
the levels of ........ are what? 

ATP, NADH, or acetyl CoA start to rise
above their maximum

300

The photosynthetic ETC ...... 

pumps
hydrogen ions from the chloroplast
stroma to the thylakoid lumen

400

A transition state is a temporary molecule
where the old bonds are.....

breaking and new
bonds are forming at the same time

400

This shape change in the protein (enzyme)  

shifts the amino acids in the active site into the correct position to
catalyze the chemical reaction

400

The net effect of glycolysis





• +2 ATP molecules

• +2 NADH molecules

• +2 pyruvate molecules

400

The citric acid cycle is how we  

break down the
remainder of the original glucose molecule into carbon
dioxide

400

2nd chemical path in light capture

 non-cyclic electron flow

500

Binding to the enzyme significantly ____ ____ ______ _______
Lowering the activation energy _____ ______ ___ ___ ___ ___ ______ 

lowers the
activation energy
 greatly
increases the speed of reactions

500

The 3D shape of the enzyme allows it to form  

the precise pattern of non-covalent bonds needed to hold the substrates in the
proper physical orientation in the active site

500

To regulate glycolysis, the cell uses a special
type of _____ _______
• Special type is called _______ ________ 

allosteric inhibition

feedback inhibition


500

What goes in the citric acid cycle?

What goes in:
• 2 molecules of acetyl CoA
• 6 molecules of NAD+
• 2 molecules of FAD
• 2 molecules of ADP

500

Anabolic reactions are where  

we put small molecules together to build larger ones
