Unit 3 Flashcards
(17 cards)
Glycolysis
(Happens inside the Cytoplasm)
-Starts with Glucose (6 carbon)
-Uses 2 ATP to break the chain into two chains of 3 carbon and attaches one Phosphate (from the 2 ATP) -PGAL
-Each chain turns into Pyruate
-Produces 2NAPH which is then later used in the electron transport chain
Competitive Inhibitor
-Molecules can bind reversibly or irreversibly to the active site of the enzyme
what does it mean when the inhibitor is irreversible?
the enzyme can’t function
Allosteric site
regions other than the active site that molecules can bind to
Noncompetitive inhibitors
Bind to the ALLOSTERIC SITE which can cause the enzyme shape to change and lead to the enzyme not being able to function anymore
what does it mean when the inhitior is reversible?
The enzyme will be able to function again.
Competitive Inhibitor
can bind reversibly or irreversibly to the active site of the enzyme
Optimum PH
Range in which the enzyme reactions happen the fastest
When it comes to PH when do Enzymes denature?
if the reaction is below or above the pH range
Basic environment
PH greater than 7
Acidic environment
PH less than 7
Optimum temperature
Range in when the reactions in enzymes happen the fastest
When it comes to temp when does the enzyme denature?
when the temp does above the optimal range.
Activation energy
the inital energy where all reactions start
Net release of energy
less activation energy
net absorbation of energy
more activation energy
What affect do Enzymes have on energy?
it takes less energy to cause reactions when you have enzymes
