| 15296439900 | exergonic reaction | Reaction that proceeds with a net release of free energy. |  | 7 |
| 15296452754 | what is the equations for calculating free energy? | delta G= delta H- T delta S | 8 | |
| 15296457474 | delta H is negative | reactant has more energy and the reaction is exergonic | 9 | |
| 15296463234 | delta H is positive | product has more energy and the reaction is endergonic | 10 | |
| 15296469615 | delta G is positive | not spontaneous | 11 | |
| 15296469617 | delta G is negative | spontaneous | 12 | |

| 15296474153 | delta S is negative | less disorder | 14 | |
| 15296484328 | 4 factors that affect entropy | state of matter, particle size, temperature, number of particles | 15 | |
| 15296518842 | endergonic reactions start with... | poor reactants and rich products | 16 | |
| 15296522544 | exergonic reactions start with.... | rich reactants and poor products | 17 | |
| 15296529763 | what is enthalpy? | the amount of energy stored in the products vs reactants. (H) | 18 | |
| 15297156822 | what is energy coupling? | the use of energy released from an exergonic reaction to drive an endergonic reaction ( has a positive delta G value and will not occur spontaneously) | 19 | |
| 15297173890 | how does ATP play a role in energy coupling? | the previous reaction combines with ATP hydrolysis; formation of ATP is an endergonic process | 20 | |
| 15297203612 | how can an enzyme affect the rate of reaction? | through a catalyst, it can speed up the chemical reaction and make the rate of reaction higher | 21 | |
| 15297206760 | how can an enzyme affect the activation energy? | enzymes lower the amount of activation energy needed to make reactants into products. | 22 | |
| 15297447216 | enzyme | A type of protein that speeds up a chemical reaction in a living thing | 23 | |
| 15297449647 | substrate | reactant of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction | 24 | |
| 15297451976 | active site | The part of an enzyme where the chemical reaction occurs. | 25 | |

| 15297461705 | competitive inhibitor | competes with substrate for active site | 27 | |
| 15297467185 | non-competitive inhibitor | an inhibitor that binds to an enzyme at an allosteric site. | 28 | |

| 15297519073 | substrate in the old lab | H2O2 | 32 | |
| 15297522395 | products in the old lab | O2 and H2O | 33 | |
| 15297546987 | why did we use KMnO4 in the old lab? | to figure out how much H2O2 was left in the beaker | 34 | |
| 15297630049 | How does low temperature affect enzymes? | enzyme and substrate don't collide as often so less product is formed | 35 | |
| 15297633863 | How does high temperature affect enzymes? | hydrogen bonds ae broken and the enzyme gets denatured | 36 | |
| 15297647040 | how does a basic pH affect enzymes? | hydrogen bonds interfered with shapes/changes and lots of (OH)- CAUSES SLOW OR NO REACTION | 37 | |
| 15297655920 | how does a very acidic pH affect enzymes? | lots of H+ and H+ interfere with hydrogen bonds changing the shape of the enzyme CAUSES SLOW OR NO REACTION | 38 | |

| 15297730664 | what is an allosteric site? | a different location that is not the active site of enzyme catalysis - non-competitive inhibitors bind here | 41 | |
| 15297744568 | what is allosteric regulation? | when an enzymes functionality at the active site is affected by the binding of a regulatory molecule | 42 | |
| 15297770569 | Why is feedback inhibition important? | it prevents the cell from wasting resources by synthesizing more product than necessary | 43 | |
| 15297788619 | what role do activators play in allosteric regulation? where does it bind? | bind to the allosteric site of the enzyme and stables it in its active form | 44 | |
