Q

Catalysts

A

Reactants that are not used up in the course of a reaction, and can therefore be re-used

Q

Cofactors

A

Helpers for enzymes- they help the enzyme by helping them to bind their substrate or changing their shape to fit better

16
Q

Two ways to control an enzyme

A

Competitively

No competitively

17
Q

Competitive inhibition

A

They fit onto the substrate and don’t let go, so the competitive inhibitor competes for the active site with the original

18
Q

Non competitive inhibition

A

Reaction is blocked because binding of a regulatory molecule in regulatory site changes the confirmation of active site so that substrate cannot enter

19
Q

What happens when temp is too hot for enzyme

A

Enzymes denature and cannot be fixed

20
Q

What happens at slightly warm for enzyme

A

Enzymes encounter reactants more often, but may be sustaining damage usually do not work as efficiently

21
Q

Temp too cold for enzyme consequence/

A

Molecular movements slow down, enzymes are not efficient

22
Q

Perfect temp for enzymes consequences

A

Enzymes work at peak efficiency

23
Q

When energy is released, where does it go

A

We want to capture and use as much possible

Temporary energy storage molecule: ATP

24
Q

What is ATP

A

Sort of like money, using ATP to carry out energy reactions

25
Celia load respiration’s
Taking the energy in for example glucose and breaking it down, removing that energy from glucose and making it into ATP.
26
NAD FADH ADP are what
Molecules needed to carry out glucose breakdown
27
ATP molecule has three phosphates which makes it unstable so what happens
The third triphosphate breaks off and produces energy
28
Aerobic respiration
Using oxygen in the respiratory process
29
Anaerobic respiration
Using non oxygen molecules
