Q

Chemical structure types of classifications _(3)

A

1)decomposition (Large molecule broken down into smaller structure…They are catabolic(means they break things down…e.g., hydrolysis

2)Synthesis reaction(take small subunits(monomers) and build a bigger structure (e.g., dehydration synthesis forming a dipeptide)…. these are anabolic and synthesis reactions)

3)Exchange reactions(groups exchanged between two chemical structures(one entity to another)

Classifications of chemical energy _(2) reactions
1) exergonic reactions(reactants with more energy...energy released with net decrease in potential energy)(e.g., decompostion(needs a lot less of a push) 2)Endergonic reactions(reactants with less energy within their chemical bons than products...energy supplied with a net increase in potential energy)
26
ATP oxidized to aid _
endergonic reactions
27
Carbonic acid reaciton is a _ reaction
reversible reaction
28
Reaction rate _
how quickly a chemical reaction takes place
29
Activation energy _
energy required to break existing chemical bonds
30
Enzymes are _ in nature
catalitic(reduced amount of energy needed to make it go...accelerate chemical reactions)
31
uncatalyzed _. catalyzed _
no enzyme present enzyme present
32
-ase means _
enzyme
33
Location of enzymes _(3)
1)Some remain within cells 2)Some become embedded in plasma membrane 3)Some are secreted from the cell
34
Cofactors are _
molecules that help enzymes work better
35
Enzymes are made of _
proteins
36
Heat tends to _
break bonds between ions
37
substrate means _
the substance on which an enzyme acts
38
Saturation is _
so much substrate is present that all enzyme molecules are engaged in reaction
39
Human enzymes function best at _
body temp. and slightly higher(104)
40
Optimal pH _
between pH of 6-8
41
competitive inhibitors _
the active site is occupied
42
noncompetitive inhibitors _
active site changes shape
43
Metabolic pathways _
-series of enzymes-product of one enzyme becomes the substrate of the next
44
negative-feedback
when the product of the pathway inhibits its own production
45
Phosphorylation _
-addition of phosphate group...carried out by phosphorylases phosphatase(remove and accept a phosphate group)
46
Dephosphorylation _
-removal of a phosphate group
47
Main way for your body to produce ATP is _
Cellular Respiration
48
Characteristics of Cellular Respiration is _
1)Exergonic 2)Oxygen must be present
49
Oxidation is when you _
remove electrons
50
Glucose oxidation byproducts are _
Carbon dioxide and water formed
51
Substrate Level Phosphorylation uses a _
enzyme
52
Oxidative Phosphorylation _
rips apart
53
ATP production happens in the _
Mitochondria
54
Four states of glucose oxidation are _
1)Glycolysis(breaking down of sugar...does not require oxygen) 2)Intermediate stage 3)Citric acid cycle 4)electron transport system
55
NAD's job _
move hydrogens to the electron transport system
56
Glycolysis produces _
-pyruvate -forms 2 ATP per glucose
57
intermediate stage _
tuns 2 ???? into 2 acetylated pyruvates
58
Citric Acid Cycle _
ribs off all the hydrogens, puts them on buses (NADH & FADH), loads up electron shuttles, makes 1 ATP
59
Electron Transport chain _
-Transfer of electrons from NADH and FADH2, energy used to make ATP
60
inert means _
doesn't do anything
61
Glycolysis produces _
2 ATP
