26
Step-wise sequences
Metabolic pathways
27
Substance that is being acted upon
Substrate
28
End molecule (what is produced)
Product
29
Molecules that come in between the process of the reaction
Intermediates
30
Types of metabolic pathways
Straight Branch Cycle
31
Describe enzymes
Catalysts that speed up chemical reactions Usually proteins Do not get permanently changed during the reaction Very specific in what they do Recycled over and over Usually end in the suffix "ase" Usually tells within the word what it does or what it acts on
32
A + B > C > D > E
Straight chain
33
D > A + B > C > E >
Branch chain
34
``` A E^ B ^ D ```
Cycles
35
Name for the temporary molecule where the enzyme and substrate are bound together
Enzyme-substrate complex
36
Place on the enzyme where the substrate binds with the enzyme
Active site
37
Theory of how enzyme-substrates work
Induced-fit model
38
Induced-fit model
Substrate binds to the active site Enzyme changes shape Shape change makes it easier for the reaction to proceed Reaction is finished so the enzyme releases its products and returns to its original shape Active site is available for more substrate
39
Step in the induced-fit model that is the induced fit
Enzyme changes shape
40
Energy needed for a reaction to occur
Energy of activation
41
______ lower the energy of activation
Enzymes
42
Effect the speed of an enzymatic reaction
Factors
43
Factors of an enzymatic reaction
``` Substrate concentration Enzyme concentration Optimal pH Temperature Cofactors and coenzymes Denaturation ```
44
The higher the ______ concentration, the more the reaction will occur. The more ______ concentration you have, the better the reaction will be
Substrate; enzyme
45
Human blood is 7.35-7.45
Optimal pH
46
Reactions occur best at the regular body ______ of that organism
Temperature
47
Their presence affects the speed of the reaction
Cofactors and coenzymes
48
Inorganic ion needed for the active site of an enzyme to work properly
Cofactor
49
Nonprotein organic molecule needed at the active site for the enzyme to work properly; often require vitamins to work
Coenzyme
50
Change in the shape of an enzyme where that it no longer functions properly; caused by changes in the pH and temperature (reversible or irreversible)
Denaturation
51
All enzymes are dependent upon their _____ to work properly
Shape
52
Types of enzyme inhibition
Competitive | Noncompetitive
53
Both the substrate and inhibitor can fit in the active site, but whichever one gets there first gets to stay
Competitive inhibition
54
Inhibitor binds to the allosteric site which causes a shape change in the active site which inhibits the substrate from fitting
Noncompetitive inhibition
55
Site other than the active site where the inhibitor bonds
Allosteric site
56
When one of the products in a pathway inhibits a previous reaction in the pathway
Negative feedback
57
One of the products in a pathway makes reactions go faster
Positive feedback
58
