Q

competitive inhibition

A

substances that resembles the normal substrate competes with the substrate for the active site

21
Q

allosteric inhibition

A

form of competitive inhibition in special types of enzymes with two biding sites

22
Q

allosteric inhibition 2 sites

A

the active site and the regulatory or allosteric site

23
Q

noncompetitive inhibition

A

inhibitor binds to the entire enzyme-substrate complex and prevents the enzyme from complete its action on the substrate

24
Q

enzyme repression

A

automatic suppression of enzyme synthesis when end product builds to excess

25
enzyme induction
enzymes are made only when suitable substrates are present
26
energy
the capacity to do work or to cause change forms of energy include
27
redox reactions
always occurs in pairs
28
metabolic "currency" three part molecule consisting of
adenine a nitrogenous base ribose a 5 carbon sugar 3 phosphate groups
29
bioenergetics
study of the mechanisms of cellular energy release
30
glycolysis
split glucose = pyruvate
31
Kerbs cycle
a few ATPs CO2
32
electron transplant chain
ETC series of enzymes using electorns
33
ATP synthesis 3 different mechanisms
substrate-level phosphorylation oxidative phosphorylation photophosphorylation
34
substrate-level
transfer of phosphate group from a phosphorylated compound directly to ADP
35
oxidative phosphorylation
series of redox reactions occurring during respiratory pathway
36
photophosphorylation
in photosynthetic organism utilizing the energy of sunlight
37
cellular respiration
glucose + oxygen - CO2 + H2O + ATP
38
aerobic respiration
pathways involved glycolysis, the Krebs cycle electron transport Products ATP, CO2, H2O
39
anaerobic respiration
glycolysis the Kerbs cycle ETC molecules other than oxygen are final electron acceptor Nitrate or Sulfur no oxygen produced
40
fermentation
glycolysis organic compounds are the final electron acceptors lactic acid or ethanol
41
fermentation
uses organic compounds as terminal electron acceptors.
42
anaerobic metabolism fermentative
pathways involved glycolysis produtcs ATP, CO2, ethanol, lactic acid
43
respiration
pathways involved glycolysis, kerbs cycle, electron transport products ATP, organic acid, H2S, CH4, N2
44
many pathways of metabolism are bi-directional or
amphibolic (goes both ways)
45
photosynthesis
the ultimate source of all the chemical energy in cells comes from the sun
46
photosynthesis occurs in 2 stages
light-dependent reaction light- independent reaction
47
light-dependent reaction
light energy splits water = O2, ATP made
48
light-independent reaction
do not require light to occur Calvin cycle - ATP used to convert CO2 = glucose
