Term
Enzyme
Definition
Speed up chemical reactions.
At normal body temperature and pressure
Cataylysts
Term
Catalyst
Definition
Speeds up chemical reactions without being altered. Enzymes are catalysts
Term
enzyme structure
Definition
some contain 2 parts. Cofactor and apoenzyme and of proteins
Term
Cofactor
Definition
part of the enzyme that is a non organic portion like a metal such as iron
Term
apoenzyme
Definition
the protein portion of the enzyme
Term
Substrate
Definition
molecule that a particular enzyme works on. ony effect specific substrates
Term
enzymes usually end in?
Definition
-ase,ogen,kinase like amylase
Term
Active site
Definition
portion of the enzyme that bonds with a certain substrate
Term
specificity
Definition
has a specific substrate, catalyses a specific reaction.
Term
efficiency
Definition
reaction rates 100 million to 10 billion times faster then reactions without enzymes
Term
activation
Definition
any process that initates or increases the action of the enzyme
Term
Inhibitation
Definition
opposite of activation any process that makes the enzyme less active or inactive
Term
nucleic acids dna and rna
Definition
contains carbon,hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus
Term
Dna word meaning
Definition
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Term
Rna word meaning
Definition
Ribonucleic acid
Term
dna is
Definition
inherited genetic material inside each cell
Term
rna is
Definition
relays instructions from genes to guide each cell's assembly of amino acids into proteins
Term
Nucleotide
Definition
building blocks of nucleic acid
Term
nucleotide parts
Definition
3 parts nitrogenous base, pentose sugar and phosphate group.
Term
Dna build
Definition
double coil with opposite sides held together by hydrogen bonds. its like a ladder
Term
Base pairing
Definition
A pairs with T adenine and thymine
C pairs with G cytosine and guanine
Term
Replication
Definition
during cell division 2 strands unwind
each strand serves as a mold to construct a 2nd strand
Term
Kinds of rna
Definition
messanger, ribosomal and transfer
Term
Rna difference
Definition
singe stranded, ribose is pentose sugar and is a pyrimidine base U uracil instead of T thymine
Term
Adenosine triphosphate
Definition
energy currency of living systems
Term
Function of adenosine triphosphate
Definition
Temp. stores, movement of chromosomes during cell division, transporting substances across cell membrane, anabolism.
Term
Adenosine structure
Definition
purine (double ringed nitrogenous base)
ribose (five carbon sugar) and 3 phosphate groups.
Term
Catabolism from atp to adp
Definition
hydrolyzed by addition of water, removal of terminal phosphate group makes it adenosine diphosphate ADP
Term
Anabolism from ADP to ATP
Definition
Replenishment of energy. phosphate group is added back to ADP to make ATP
Term
Cellular respiration
Definition
provides energy to produce ATP
Catabolism of glucose
Term
Phases of cellular respiration
Definition
anaerobic and aerobic
Term
anaerobic
Definition
+/- absence of oxygen
glucose broken down to pyruvic acid each glucose molecule yields 2 molecules of ATP
Term
Aerobic
Definition
oxygen required, glucose broken down completely into CO2 and HO2. Each glucose yeilds 36-38 ATPs and heat
