Chapter 7 Flashcards
(9 cards)
CC anabolic and catabolic (2)
Anabolic
Catabloic
Anabolic (+ΔG )
Build complex molecules
Endergonic: Requires energy (ex., Synthesis of protein from amino acids)
Catabolic (-ΔG )
Breaking down complex molecules
Exergonic: Releases energy (ex. Cellular respiration)
SEQ how ATP drives chemical work
Cells use ATP to carry energy
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
Ribose (5-c sugar)
Adenine (nitrogenous base)
3 phosphate groups
ATP drives endergonic reactions by phosphorylation
SEQ, H/D general enzymatic reactions (3)
Enzyme
Factors affecting enzyme activity
Cofactors help enzymes
Enzyme
Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering E barriers
Structure
Active site: Puzzle
Substrate: Final Piece
Factors affecting enzyme activity
Temperature and pH (Enzyme optimal T for human is 35-40)
Denaturation
High T: denature enzymes
Low T: slow enzymes
Enzyme helps Cofactors
Inorganic: often metals (iron or zinc)
Organic coenzyme: (NAD+, FAD+), vitamins
CC Oxidation and Reduction
Oxidation: loss of e-
Reduction: gain of e-
Ex. NADH → NAD+ + H + e- (NADH is oxidized)
Ex. NAD+ + H + e- → NADH (NaD+ is reduced)
