Cards

Term
Reactants Must_____&______&_______. In order to react.
Definition
Collide, in the correct orientation, and with enough energy to rearrange bonds.
Term
What do enzymes do for a reaction?
Definition
They lower the activation energy.
Term
Are enzymes affected by reactions?
Definition
No they are unchanged
Term
Enzymes may be made of ______ or ________.
Definition
Protein or RNA
Term
Important factors that can affect enzymatic activity?
Name 3
Definition
Temperature, PH, and cofactors.
Term
Cofactors include
Definition
Ions of Ca, Fe, Zn, and Mg, if it is an organic molecule it's a coenzyme.
Term
Competitive inhibitors fill what site.
Definition
They fill the active site of an enzyme and compete with the normal substrate for the active site
Term
Noncompetitive inhibitors fill what site?
Definition
These do not compete with the substrate for the enzyme's active site; instead, they interact with the Allosteric Site.
Term
Folic acid is a substrate for _______.
Definition
Nucleotide biosynthesis
Term
What do allosteric enzymes do to the active site?
Definition
They cause the enzymes active site to change shape which may stop substrate binding.
Term
How do oxidation and reduction differ?
Definition
Oxidation removes an electron, reduction gains an electron. These reactions are always coupled.
Term
Catabolic reactions transfer energy from complex molecules to ______?
Definition
ATP
Term
Anabolic reactions transfer energy from ATP to _____?
Definition
Complex molecules
Term
Na + Cl is what an oxidation and reduction coupling reaction. Which is oxidized and which is reduced?
Definition
Na gives an e- so it is oxidized and Cl accepts an electron so it is reduced.
Term
Glycolysis produces ATP and reduces NAD+ to _____ while glucose to pyruvic acid. In respiration, the pyruvic acid Is converted to the first reactant in the _____ cycle.
Definition
NAOH & Krebs
Term
Electron transport + chemiosmosis =
Definition
ATP
Term
Aerobic respiration produces _____ total ATP?
Definition
38
Term
Why is O2 so important in electron transport + chemiosmosis?
Definition
It is the final electron acceptor.
Term
Why do H+ pumps require energy?
Definition
They are moving protons across a concentration gradient.
Term
Why is electron transport chemiosmosis always on a membrane?
Definition
So they can be separated by a concentration gradient.
Term
Is mitochondria located on the inner membrane or outer membrane?
Definition
inner membrane
Term
photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy from the sun into ___________.
Definition
chemical energy
Term
Fermentation can happen without this molecule and produces _____ ATP.
Definition
O2 and 2
Term
Chlorophyll is contained in flattened membrane sacs called ________.
Definition
Thylakoids
Term
Photophosphorylation is one of the three ways ATP is formed, and it occurs only in _____________ cells.
Definition
Photosynthetic
Term
The Calvin Cycle is defined as?
Definition
A metabolic pathway found in the stroma of the chloroplast in which carbon enters in the form of CO2 and leaves in the form of sugar.
