TBL Quiz Flashcards
Substrates
starting molecules
reactants that start/speed up chemical reactions
Products
Ending molecules, can be glucose and fructose
noncompetitive inhibitors
bind to the enzyme
Enzyme inhibitors
mimic the substrates
Active site
a area in the enzyme where substrates can bind to
Enzymes
Most of the time proteins sometimes RNA,
they don’t effect the free energy charge
Feedback inhibitors
Switching off of a metabolic pathway by its
end product
conserves energy
Allosteric enzymes
have multiple subunits
four active sites
how does active site lower E
Induced fit put stress on bonds in the substrates
Catalytic Cycle
Enzymes are recycle
How do enzymes speed up chemical reactions?
helping to lower the activation energy
ATP
immediate source of energy in the cell
Exergonic
release free energy
Endergonic
takes in energy
