59
First two laws of thermodynamics
1. Energy cannot be created not destroyed, only transferred | 2. Every time energy is transformed, entropy increases
60
G<0
Spontaneous (exergonic)
61
G>0
Non-spontaneous (endergonic)
62
G=0
Equilibrium
63
Two metabolic pathways
Anabolic and catabolic
64
Reactant which binds to enzyme
Substrate
65
Enzyme-substrate complex
Temporary association | - enzyme+substrate = products
66
Example of active sight
Surcase: - enzyme breaks down sucrose - binds to sucrose & breaks down disaccharide into fructose and glucose
67
Key factors that effect enzymes
- activators - inhibitors - temperature - pH
68
Keeps enzyme in inactive form
Inhibitor
69
Keeps enzyme in active form
Activator
70
Spontaneous is an _______ reaction

Non-spontaneous is an ________ reaction
Endergonic
72
Factors that effect the rate of a reaction
- temperature - pH - substrate concentration - enzyme concentration - inhibitors - activators
73
2 types of inhabition
- competitive: will compete for spot where they combine (active sight) higher amount will win - non-competitive: inhibitors binds to allosteric sight so substrate cannot fit
