FAD
metabolic processes guided by
- nutrient requirement
- requires energy from light or nutrients (catabolism)
- energy stored as ATP
- utilize enzymes
- construct larger building blocks in anabolic reactions
- use enzymes and ATP for polymerization
- cell growth
- cell reproduction
phosphorylation of ADP
- substrate level phosphorylation
- oxidative phosphorylation
- photophosphorylation
classifying enzymes
hydrolases isomerases ligases (polymerases) lyases oxidoreductases transferases
hydrolases
catabolize by adding water
isomerases
rearrange atoms within a molecule
ligases
join 2 molecules together
lyases
split large molecules
oxidoreductases
remove or add electron to various substrates
transferases
transfer functional groups between 2 molecules
apoenzymes
protein enzymes that are inactive
cofactors
inorganic ions
coenzymes
vitamins or contain vitamins
holoenzyme
binding of apoenzyme with cofactor/coenzyme
ribozymes
process other RNA molecules by removing sections of RNA and placing remaining pieces together
factors of enzyme activity
temperature
pH
enzyme and substrate concentrations
presence of inhibitors
inhibitors
competitive
noncompetitive
competitive inhibitors
fit into enzyme’s active site preventing substrate binding
noncompetitive inhibitors
band to allosteric site somewhere else on enzyme
carbohydrate catabolism
cellular respiration
fermentation
cellular respiration
glycolysis
kreb’s cycle
electron transport chain
fermentation
glycolysis
conversion of pyruvic acid into other organic compounds
