Q

define tonicity

A

to cause a cell to lose or gain water, which mainly depends on its concentration of solutes relative to the concentration of solutes inside the cell

20
Q

is light potential or kinetic energy?

A

kinetic energy

21
Q

energy that matter posses as a result of its location or structure

A

potential energy

22
Q

the potential energy available for the release in a chemical reaction. Can be used to power the work of a cell

A

chemical energy

23
Q

the study of energy transformations that occur in a collection of matter

A

thermodynamics

24
Q

what is the first law, in other words, law of energy conservation

A

the energy in the universe is constant, can be transferred but never be destroyed

25
when energy is transferred, it sometimes becomes unavailable to do work, which has been converted into what energy?
thermal energy
26
how do you measure the randomness or disorder?
using a entropy
27
what is the second law?
every energy conversion increases the entropy of the universe
28
name the two types of chemical reactions
exergonic and endergonic
29
define 'the reactants'
contain more potential energy then in the products
30
releases energy amounting to the difference in potential energy between the reactants and products
reactions
31
what is endergonic?
requiring energy and yielding products rich in potential energy
32
the products will contain more chemical energy then the reactants did due to what?
absorption of energy
33
series of chemical reactions that either build or break a complex molecule into simpler compounds. Slow burn of cellular respiration is an example.
metabolic pathway
34
the use of energy released by exergonic reactions to drive endergonic reactions
energy coupling
35
when atp isbroken what does it become?
ADP, and the energy is released
36
how does it couple this reaction to an endergonic reaction?
the phosphate often goes to another ATP group and is known as phosphorylation, which depends on ATP energizing molecules by doing just this.
37
what's driven by ATP?
the chemical, the mechanical, and transport work of a cell In chemical: phosphorylation of reactants provides energy to drive the endergonic synthesis In transport: ATP drives the active transport of solutes through a membrane against the concentration gradient (by phosphorylating transport proteins. In mechanical: contraction can occur when hydrolysis of ATP attaches a special motor proteins in muscle cells, which cause the protein to change shape and pull of filaments as well.
38
How ATP power cellular work:
1. ATP synthesis requires energy 2.ATP is present 3. ATP is hydrolysis releases energy (energy from the cellular work departs) 4. ADP+ P 5.Energy from the cellular respiration enters 6.Start from the beginning
39
rich in potential energy
proteins, carbons, lipids
40
when energy must be absorbed to weaker bonds in reactants molecules so they can break and new bonds can form
activation energy
41
how do you speed up reactions?
by adding heat
42
chemical the interferes with an enzyme's activity
inhibitor
43
reduce enzymes productivity by blocking substrate molecules from entering the active site
competitive inhibitors
44
does not enter the active site, binds elsewhere. When it binds changes shape of the enzyme and the active site doesn't fit the substrate anymore.
non competitive inhibitor
45
if a cell is producing too much of a product , that product can act as an inhibitor for one of the enzymes early in the pathway- this sort of inhibition is called ________
feedback inhibition
