Enzymes Proteins- Enzymes belong to the macromolecule group of proteins and can be described as a specialized type of protein. Enzymes are considered the catalysts of life (catalysts=agents that speed up chemical reactions) - Enzymes are named by what they are acting upon and replacing the ending with ?ase? Ex= cellulose to cellulase Enzymes assist in the process of metabolism= the many chemical reactions that occur in organisms. Many chemical reactions would not occur without enzymes because the molecules in cells would simply not house enough energy/contain enough heat, to begin a reaction and carry it out quick enough. An enzymes job is to lower the activation energy needed in a chemical process and to finish by completing it.

Chapter 6 An Introduction to Metabolism Forms of Energy Energy is the ability to do work or cause change Kinetic energy is the energy of motion Thermal energy is associated with the movement of atoms/molecules Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another Potential energy is the energy possessed by matter due to its location or structure Chemical energy is a type of potential energy Thermodynamics Thermodynamics is the study of energy transformations The First Law of Thermodynamics Energy can be transferred and/or transformed, but neither created nor destroyed The Second Law of Thermodynamics Energy transformations favor a more disorderly state, increasing entropy Entropy Entropy is a measure of the disorder, or randomness, of a system

Enzyme catalysis 1 ENZYME CATALYSIS By (Student?s Name) Course Instructor Institution City, State Date One of the primary tasks of a protein is to act as an enzyme. Fundamentally, Enzymes are organic catalysts that speed up the rate of virtually all biochemical reactions that occur in a cell. Ordinarily, cellular chemical reactions proceed so gradually that they would not occur under normal organism?s conditions of temperature and pressure (Enzyme Catalysis, 2015). Concisely, enzymatically catalyzed reactions involve the provision of an alternative route alongside stabilizing intermediates. In turn, this causes a reduction in the energy required to reach the highest energy transition state of the reaction as shown below (Enzyme Catalysis, 2015).

Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 8 An Introduction to Metabolism This chapter lays the foundations for the chapters on respiration and photosynthesis. Key concepts are as follows: The laws of thermodynamics govern energy transformations by living organisms, metabolic reactions couple energy-harvesting reactions to reactions that accomplish cellular work, and enzymes increase the rates of reaction. Understanding the properties of enzymes, how they work, and how their activities are regulated is necessary to achieve an understanding of metabolic pathways. Multiple-Choice Questions 1) Which term most precisely describes the cellular process of breaking down large molecules into smaller ones? A) catalysis B) metabolism C) anabolism D) dehydration E) catabolism

Chapter 4: Stoichiometry Section 4.2: Fundamentals of Stoichiometry Monday, September 15, 2014 2:32 PM Stoichiometry - study of relationships between quantities of reactants and products in chem reactions ? Obtaining Ratios from Balanced Equations ? -from the coefficients in the equation, all atoms are in ratios with one another Equation: CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O Ex: 1 mol CH4 : 2 mol O2 AND 1 mol CH4 : 1 mol CO2 **these are called "mole ratios" -frequently written as fractions -"molar mass ratios" relate molecular mass and molar mass ? ? This is a typical approach to solving reaction stoichiometry! ? Keep in mind the units for your final answer (in this case, grams of water) -also, use unit cancellation ? ?

preAP Chem 2013-2014 1 Name ________________________________ Note: It is very important that you note that some elements do not occur as single atoms when by themselves. If they are not combined with another element, they will bond with themselves, forming a _________________ molecule. In any chemical reaction, when you see these elements alone, they must be shown with a diatomic formula. Diatomic elements: H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2 I. Describing Chemical Change A. Writing Equations ? words can be used to describe _____________________________, but that can become long and ______________________. ? chemists use ___________________________ to describe reactions.
