FSU BSC2010 Exam 2 Yung Su questions with
verified answers
Activator Ans✓✓✓ Binding stabilizes the active form of the enzyme
Active Site Ans✓✓✓ Non-rigid region on the enzyme where the
substrate binds
Active Transport Ans✓✓✓ Moving substances against their
concentration gradient, requires energy (usually ATP), performed by
specific carrier proteins embedded in the membranes (not channel
proteins), REQUIRES ENERGY
Adenosphine Triphosphate Ans✓✓✓ The cell's energy shuffle
ADP Ans✓✓✓ When ATP loses a phosphate
Allosteric Regulation Ans✓✓✓ May either inhibit or stimulate an
enzyme's activity
Occurs when a regulatory molecules binds to a protein at one site and
affects the protein at another site
AMP Ans✓✓✓ When ATP loses two phosphates
,Amphiphatic Ans✓✓✓ Has a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail
Anabolic Pathways Ans✓✓✓ Consume energy to build complex
molecules from simpler ones
Anabolic Reactions Ans✓✓✓ Dehydration reactions
Anabolism Example Ans✓✓✓ Synthesis of proteins from amino acids
Antiparallel Ans✓✓✓ Means that subunits run in opposite directions
Describes the backbones of DNA
Aquaporins Ans✓✓✓ Channel proteins that facilitate the passage of
water
Avery
McCarty
MacLeod Ans✓✓✓ Discovered that transformation involves DNA
Bacteriophages (Phages) Ans✓✓✓ Viruses that infect bacteria
Bioenergetics Ans✓✓✓ The study of how energy flows through living
organisms
, Bioluminescense Ans✓✓✓ Process of converting energy to light
Bulk Transport Ans✓✓✓ REQUIRES ENERGY. small molecules and
water enter and leave cell through lipid bilayer or with transport
proteins, large molecules (polysaccharides and proteins) cross the
membrane in bulk via vesicles
Carrier Proteins Ans✓✓✓ Transport proteins that bind to molecules
and change shape to shuttle them across the membrane, specific for
the substance it moves
Catabolic Pathways Ans✓✓✓ Release energy by breaking down
complex molecules into simpler compounds
Catabolic Reactions Ans✓✓✓ Hydrolysis of molecules
Catabolism Example Ans✓✓✓ Cellular respiration
Catalyst Ans✓✓✓ A chemical agent that speeds up a reaction without
being consumed by a reaction
Cell's Three Kids of Work Ans✓✓✓ Chemical (driving endergonic
reactions)
