1722673895metabolismthe totality of an organism's chemical reactions0
1722673913catabolic pathwaya metabolic process that breaks down complex molecules into simpler compounds1
1722673914anabolic pathwaya metabolic process that consumes energy to build complicated molecules from simpler ones2
1722673896energythe capacity to cause change3
1722673897kinetic energythe relative motion of an object4
1722673898heat energykinetic energy associated with random movement of atoms or molecules5
1722673899potential energythe energy that matter possesses because of its location or structure when it is at rest; due to arrangement of atoms6
1722673915chemical energythe type of energy that refers to the potential energy available for release in a chemical reaction7
1722673900first law of thermodynamicsa rule that states that the energy of the universe is constant; energy can be transferred and transformed, but it cannot be created or destroyed8
1722673901second law of thermodynamicsa rule that states that every energy transfer or transformation increases the entropy (disorder) of the universe; unstoppable trend toward randomization of the universe as a whole9
1722673902free energythe portion of a system's energy that can perform work when temperature and pressure are uniform throughout the system, as in a living cell; this type of energy is a measure of a system's instability, meaning its tendency to change to a more stable state10
1722673903entropydisorder of the universe11
1722673916exergonicthe type of reaction that proceeds with a net release of free energy; because the chemical mixture loses free energy, Gibbs free energy is negative; it is a spontaneous reaction12
1722673917endergonicthe type of reaction that absorbs free energy from surroundings; because energy is stored in molecules, Gibbs free energy is positive; the reaction is nonspontaneous13
1722673918chemical workthe type of cellular work that includes the pushing of endergonic reactions, which would not occur spontaneously, such as the synthesis of proteins from amino acids14
1722673919transport workthe type of cellular work that includes the pumping of substances across membranes against the direction of spontaneous movement15
1722673920mechanical workthe type of cellular work that includes the beating of cilia, the contraction of muscle cells, and the movement of chromosomes during reproduction16
1722673921energy couplingthe use of an exergonic process to drive an endergonic one; ATP is responsible for mediating this, and it acts as an energy source17
1722673922ATPthis energy molecule for the cell is composed of ribose, adenine, and a chain of three phosphate groups18
1722673923phosphorylatedthe state of a molecule when it receives a phosphate, such as in synthesis of ATP from ADP + inorganic phospate, making it more reactive (less stable) than the original molecule19
1722673924enzymea macromolecule that acts as a catalyst; without this, pathways of metabolism would be congested because reactions would take so long20
1722673904catalysta chemical agent that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by the reaction; enzymes are examples of these21
1722673925activation energythe initial investment of energy for starting a reaction; the energy required to destabilize the reactant molecules so their bonds can break; also, the amount of energy needed to push reactants over a "hill" so that the "downhill" part of the reaction can begin22
1722673926substratethe reactant an enzyme acts on23
1722673905enzyme-substrate complexthe entity that forms when an enzyme bonds to a substrate, in which the enzyme's catalytic reaction converts the substrate to the product of the reaction24
1722673927active sitea pocket or groove on the surface of an enzyme where where the substrate docks up and catalysis occurs25
1722673906ATP --> ADP + P(i)the equation for the hydrolysis of ATP26
1722673907-7.3 kcal/molthe amount of Gibbs free energy that results from the hydrolysis of ATP27
1722673908ADP + P(i) --> ATP + H2Othe equation for the synthesis of ATP28
1722673928cofactorsnonprotein helpers for catalytic reactions; these may be bound tightly to an enzyme as a permanent resident, or may be bound loosely and reversibly along the substrate29
1722673909coenzymecofactors that are organic; examples of these are vitamins30
1722673929competitive inhibitionthis occurs when a molecule that resembles substrate bonds to the active site, thereby blocking the substrate; this occurs with weak bonds; the higher the concentration of the inhibitor, the slower the reaction; not used intentionally31
1722673930noncompetitive inhibitorsthese molecules do not directly compete with substrates--instead, they bind to another part of the enzyme, causing it to change its shape so that the active site becomes less effective32
1722673931allosteric regulationthis occurs when a molecule bonds to some other location on an enzyme, causing a conformational change, which blocks the active site; after the molecule leaves, however, the enzyme returns to its original shape; may result in either inhibition or enhanced activity of an enzyme33
1722673910-Gthe change in G for an exergonic reaction (energy yeilding)34
1722673911+Gthe change in G for an endergonic reaction (energy consuming)35
1722673932feedback inhibitionan occurrence in which a metabolic pathway is switched off by the inhibitory binding of its end product to an enzyme that acts early in the pathway; this prevents the cell from wasting chemical resources; when an end product stops or slows its own production36
1722673912lock-and-keythe model for enzymes that says that enzymes are highly specific, and as a result, there is only one substrate that fits in an enzyme's active site37

1560651175Concept 6.4: The endomembrane system regulates protein traffic and performs metabolic functions in the cell.Cell membranes are in constant motion. Some of this motion is lateral diffusion, as membrane lipids and proteins move sideways in the bilayer. But certain regions also move by budding out from their surrounding membrane and pinching off into vesicles. These vesicles can move to other regions of the cell, find suitable receptors, and fuse with a different patch of membrane. The illustration shows different types of membranes and compartments indicated by labels. Although each type of structure has different properties and functions, they are interconnected by membrane traffic into an endomembrane system. One of the most common patterns of membrane traffic is the movement of newly synthesized proteins from rough ER to various destinations, for the following purposes: - secretion outside the cell - creating lysosomes - replacing proteins in the plasma membrane. ..91

1794698154How does the second law of thermodynamics help explain the diffusion of a substance across a membrane?The second law is the trend toward randomization, or increasing entropy. When the concentration of a substance on both sides of a membrane are equal, the distribution is more random than when they are unequal. Diffusion of a substance to a region where it is initially less concentrated INCREASES ENTROPY, making it an energetically favorable (SPONTANEOUS) process.18

1794698101Many spontaneous reactions occur very slowly. Why don't all spontaneous reactions occur instantly?While spontaneous reactions are exergonic, if they have a high activation energy that is rarely reached, the rate of reaction could be very slow53
1794698102Why do enzymes act only on very specific substrates?Only the specific substrate will fit properly into the active site of an enzyme where the catalysis happens54

1794698189Feedback inhibitionA method of metabolic control in which the end product of a metabolic pathway acts as an inhibitor of an enzyme within that pathway.60
1794698105How do an activator and an inhibitor have different effects on an allosterically regulated enzyme?The activator binds and stabilizes he active form of an enzyme, whereas the inhibitor will stabilize the INACTIVE form61
1794698106You want to design drug that inhibits a particular enzyme, after research you learn that an enzymes active site is simmilar to that of several other enzymes. What would be a good approach to develop your inhibitor drug?An inhibitor that binds to the active site of the enzyme you want to inhibit could also bind to and block the enzymes with similar structures, causing significant side effects. For this reason you would be better off choosing to screen chemical compounds that bind allosterically to the enzyme in question because allosteric regulatory sites are less likely to share similarity with other enzymes.62
