Q

Catalysis affects reactions in what way?

A

increases the rate of reaction and decrease the energy required to start a reaction; in the human body it allows these reactions to occur at safe body temperatures

Q

Where do non-competitive inhibitors bind to on enzymes?

A

allosteric site (an alternative site on the enzyme that when bound to the non-competitive enzymes, the shape of the active site is changed and it is unable to bind to the substrate)

Q

What is occurring during glycolysis?

A

1 glucose is being oxidized into 2 pyruvates

Q

What happens to pyruvate after glycolysis?

A

Pyruvate is oxidized into Acetyl CoA
