11561915631metabolismthe totality of an organism's chemical reactions manages material and energy resources of a cell0
11561924113catabolic pathwaysleads to the release of energy by the breakdown of complex molecules to simplify compounds. ex. digestive enzymes break down food and release energy1
11562487226anabolic pathwaysconsumes energy to build up complex molecules from simple ones ex: your body links together amino acids to form muscle protein in response to physical exercise2

11562514008potential energystored energy that results from the position or shape of an object - resting5
11562598545chemical energya form of potential energy that is stored in molecules, amount of energy depends on chemical bonds6
11562638721themodynamicsenergy transformations that occur in matter7
11562673205first law of thermodynamicsenergy is constant, energy can be transferred and transformed but not created or destroyed8
11562685621second law of thermodynamicsevery energy transfer increases the entropy of the universe9
11562689393entropythe amount of disorder or randomness10
11562707636free energy change in a reaction tells us whether or notthe reaction occurs spontaneously11
11562746357free energythe part of a systems energy that is able to preform work when the temperature of the system is uniform12
11562792646symbol for free energyΔG ; delta g13
11562838372exergonic reactionenergy is released, occur spontaneously (not necessarily quickly) and release free energy to the system ^G<014
11562859796endergonic reactionrequires energy, absorbs free energy, require free energy from a system15
11562899705atp powers cellular work bycoupling exergonic reactions to endergonic reactions16
11562903820energy couplingThe use of an exergonic process to drive an endergonic one.17
11562908513primary source for cells energy in energy couplingatp (adenosine triphosphate)18
11563009180when a phosphate group is hydrolyzedenergy is released in a exergonic reaction19
11563062978work in the cell is done by the releaseof a phosphate group from atp20
11563089183the exergonic release of the phosphate group is used todo the endergonic work of the cell21
11563098472When ATP transfers one phosphate group through hydrolysis, it becomesadp22
11563153772catalystsubstances that speed up a chemical process without actually changing the products of reactions23
11563156321enzymesmacromolecules that are biological catalysts24
11563161867activation energyamount of energy needed to start a reaction - amount of energy it takes to break the bonds of the reactant molecules25
11563181048How do enzymes speed up chemical reactions?by lowering the activation energy - without changing the free energy change of the reaction26
11563193540the reactant that the enzyme works on is thesubstrate27
11563272810effect of enzyme on reaction rate28
11563318826active sitethe part of the enzyme that binds to the substrate29
11563322716enzyme-substrate complexWhen an enzyme binds to its substrate, it forms: held by weak interactions (ex. hydrogen and ionic bonds)30
11563335786substrates, after binding to enzymesis converted into products , and released from the enzyme31
11563378744after the product is releasedactive site is available for new substrates, enzymes can be reused32
11563391674protein enzymes 3 dimensional shape is drastically affected bychanges in ph and tempreture33
11563430390changes in precise shape of an enzymemeans that the enzyme will not be as effective34
11563442173when the temperature and ph are not optimalreaction rate is altered35
11563465054Many enzymes requirenonprotein helpers called cofactors36
11563471438cofactors includemetal ions like zinc, iron, and copper37
11563478427cofactors functionto allow catalysts so occur38
11563485632If the cofactor is an organic molecule, it is called a?coenzyme39
11563489190Coenzymesorganic cofactors (vitamins)40
11563494852competitive inhibitorsare reversible inhibitors that compete with the substrate for the active site of an enzyme41
11563508056competitive inhibitors are chemicallysimilar to the normal substrate molecule42
11563516894competitive inhibitors oftenreduce the efficiency of the enzyme as it competes for the active site43
11563532088noncompetitive inhibitordo not directly compete with the substrate molecules instead they impede (prevent) enzyme activity by binding to another part of the enzyme44
11563549087noncompetitive inhibitor cause the enzyme tochange its shape, rendering the active site nonfunctional45
11563573286many enzyme regulators bind toan allosteric site on the enzymes46
11563576521allosteric sitespecific binding site, but not the active site47
11563590533one bound to the allosteric siteshape of a enzyme is changed , that can either stimulate or inhibit enzyme activity48
11563642968the end product of a enzymatic pathway can switch off its pathway bybinding to a allosteric site of an enzyme in the pathway termed feedback inhibitation49
11563653320feedback inhibitionincreases the efficiency of the pathway by turning it off when the end product accumulates in the cell50
11563904548thermal energyis kinetic energy associated with random movement of atoms or molecules51
11563913407closed systemmatter is not allowed to enter or leave - isolated (liquid in a thermos)52
11563918966open systemA system in which matter can enter from or escape to the surroundings. (organisms)53
11563928167energy that is unusable is lost asheat54
11563935594change in total energy (enthalpy)^ H55
11563942495Entropy shown as^S56
11563946504processes with a negative delta g arespontanous57
11563963072Most enzymes areproteins exception ribozymes (rna)58
11563976291enzymes lower activation energy byOrienting substrates correctly Straining substrate bonds Providing a favorable microenvironment59
11563988369gene regulationthe turning on and off of genes that code for specific enzymes60
11563996734negative feedbackAn accumulation of an end product slows the process that produces that product (sugar breakdown generates ATP; excess ATP inhibits an enzyme near the beginning of the pathway)61
11564004707positive feedbackThe end product speeds up production (Chemicals released by platelets that accumulate at injury site, attract MORE platelets to the site.)62
11564016553Coopertivitya form of allosteric regulation that can amplify enzyme activity Binding of one substrate to active site of one subunit locks all subunits in active conformation63
