Q

Every energy transfer or transformation increase the entropy (disorder) of the universe

A

2nd law of Thermodynamics

19
Q

disorder happens when you don’t do your laundry you need to keep doing it o have a system, an order

A

entrophy (disorder

20
Q

a chemical reaction that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by a reaction

A

protein catalyst
catalyst: something that speeds up a chemical reaction or makes a chemical reaction occur

21
Q

Example of enzyme:

A

sucrose -> glucose + fructose
(substrate) (product)
sucrose=carb/disaccharide broken doing into fructose= enzyme that makes this occur is sucrASE – “ase” means enzyme

22
Q

a reactant an enzyme works on

23
Q

What reaction is a hydrolysis reaction?

A

catabolic reaction

24
Q

Produce energy /ATP is what reaction?

25
When enzyme binds to substrate
enzyme-substrate complex
26
region on enzyme where substrate binds. Little nuck or empty space, in bend of a protein
Active site
27
Enzymes squeezes substrate by changing shape. Strains and breaks bonds holding it together and is reused. Substrate and active site need to match up perfectly.
Induced fit
28
Highly specific, they only have one shape that matches up with each other
enzyme
29
How enzymes work:
- Orienting substrates correctly - Straining substrate bonds - Providing a favorable microenvironment - Covalently bonding to the substrate
30
When you add more substrate what is the rate of reaction?
makes reaction faster
31
when you can reduce more substrate what is the rate of the reaction?
makes the reaction slower
32
Increased amount of enzyme means for the rate of reaction to what?
increase
33
Enzymes can be affected by what? hint: just like proteins, denaturation
environment and temperature
34
Increase pH makes the rate of reaction do what?
slow down/stop
35
Decrease in temp makes the rate of reaction do what?
slow down/stop
36
Helper to work. Molecules that make enzymes work correctly. Nonprotein enzyme helpers. May be inorganic or organic. Ex--> iron in your blood cells (hemoglobin). Make hemoglobin work properly --help oxygen be given properly
Cofactors
37
An inorganic cofactor is what? Ex--> CoQ10 helps everything but already in your body making enzymes work properly--make ATP
coenzyme
38
Increase inhibitor means the rate of reaction does what?
slow down
39
Decrease inhibitor means the rate of reaction does what?
reaction speeds up
40
Slow down reactions. Change isn't permanent, it foes away when reaction is ready to occur
inhibitors
41
Bind to active site of an enzyme, competing with the substrate. Competes with substrate in binding with active site inhibiting reaction.
Competitive Inhibitor
42
Bind to another part of an enzyme, causing the enzyme to change shape and making the active site less effective. Binds to allosteric site (not active site) causing enzyme to change shape.
Noncompetitive Inhibitor
43
The end product of a metabolic pathway shuts down the pathway. Self regulation. Prevents a cell from wasting chemical resources by synthesizing more product than is needed. Act as an inhibitor early on in the pathway, don't want to waste time, if you're going to do it, do it in the beginning=save resources. Ex--> want to become a doctor-->go to school-->make a plan-->take science and then decide I don't like it as much but you do like psychology and change path to get to the end product.
Feedback Inhibitor
