Denature - ANSWER -unraveling of protein
Glycolipid - ANSWER -acts as an identification tag
Ester linkage - ANSWER -bond found in fats
Amino - ANSWER -functional group found in proteins
Metabolism - ANSWER -refers to the total of all reactions occurring in a cell
Exergonic reaction - ANSWER -release of energy through catabolism which fuels
endergonic reactions
Endergonic reactions - ANSWER -consume energy to synthesize polymers to
monomers
Energy - ANSWER -capacity to do work
Mechanical work - ANSWER -any form of movement ranging from the
movements of the entire organism or movement of molecules in the cell
Chemical work - ANSWER -breaking and building of molecules which involve
the rearrgning of atoms
Transport work - ANSWER -movement of a molecule across a membrane
,Catabolic - ANSWER -metabolic, process of doing work, ATp becomes ADP,
breaking polymers to monomers, energy producing reactions
breaking down of molecules; a process releasing hydrogen and electrons that
determine the final acceptor of these at the end of a process.
Anabolic - ANSWER -metabolic, building polymers from monomers, formation
og atp, storing energy for work, energy using reactions
cellular respiration - ANSWER -oxygen is consumed, carbon dioxide is expelled.
The purpose is to bank as much ATP as possible
Chemiosmosis - ANSWER -requires: hydrogen ions, ATP synthease enzyme, and
a membrane. ATP synthase is an enzyme that cataluze the reaction of
phorphrlating the ADP, creating ATP.
Electron transport chain: - ANSWER -protein channels used to pump hydrogen
ions from inside to the outside of the membrane
True or False: cellular respiration is a series of oxidation-reduction reactions. -
ANSWER -True
Glycoloysis - ANSWER -first step in oxidation of glucose to relase hydrogen and
electrons. - Acetyl CoA: a modifcation of pyruvate that will enter the krebs cycle
Kreb cycle: - ANSWER -results in the compete oxidation of glucose
Anaerobic - ANSWER -process that does not require oxygen
NAD and FAD - ANSWER -molecules that carry electrons and hydrogens to the
ETC
Enzymes - ANSWER -control chemical reactions
Catalyst - ANSWER -ignitor that gets processes started
, Active site: - ANSWER -where the activity of action on the substrate is going to
occur
Substrate - ANSWER -the molecule that is going to be acted upon and made the
change for the reaction to occur
Activation energy: - ANSWER -energy required to make these molecules become
unstable ad react with another molecule or breakdown
Coenzymes - ANSWER -organic enzyme helpers that are vitamins
Cofactors - ANSWER -inorganic enzyme helpers are minerals
Feedback inhibition: - ANSWER -the product of an enzymatic pathway will
temporarily inhibit its pathway by becoming a noncompetitive inhibitor
Competitive inhibitor - ANSWER -will permanently out-compete the substrate for
the active site, which will stop the production of the product
Exoenzymes - ANSWER -secreted from the cell hydrolyze large polymers into
smaller polymers that can pass into the cell
Amylase - ANSWER -amly= starch, the enzyme that breaks starch into smaller
saccharides
Lipase and protease: - ANSWER -enzymes hydrolyze lipids and proteins
Oxygenic photosynthesis: - ANSWER -a byproduct of photoautotrophic
organisms providing oxygen
Chemoautotrophs - ANSWER -make their food using chemical energy
Heterotrophs - ANSWER -feed on organisms that make their own good
