Q

Cytosol:

A

Gooey, water-like substance found within a cell. Think of it as a sort of serous membrane but on a much smaller scale.

Q

Enzymatic inhibition: Know the differences between competitive inhibition and noncompetitive inhibition.

A

COMPETITIVE INHIBITION: INHIBITOR BLOCKS THE SITE THE SUBSTRATE IS TRYING TO BIND WITH ON THE ENZYME. NONCOMPETITIVE INHIBITION: INHIBITOR CHANGES THE SHAPE OF THE ENZYME SO THAT THE SUBSTRATE CANNOT BIND

Q

The set of proteins in the cristae of the mitochondrion, which collectively extract the energy from reduced coenzymes to form ATP, are called the:

A

electron transport system

17
Q

to transport NADH

18
Q

T or F: Citrate synthetase levels rise when levels of NADH and ATP are low.

A

True

19
Q

If glucose is unavailable for the cellular respiration process, what else will our body use?

A

ADIPOSE (TRIGYLERCIDES) TISSUE MOLECULES OR PROTEINS BROKEN DOWN INTO AMINO ACIDS.
