Unit 3

Denaturation, optimal temp, concentrations, and inhibitors

change in temperature, pH, and ionic conditions

Competitive and noncompetitive

Molecules that can bind reversibly or irreversibly to the active site of the enzyme

Molecules that can bind to allosteric sites, changing the activity of the enzyme

They act as catalysts and decrease the amount of energy needed to something to occur

A part of the enzyme that specifically interacts with substrate molecules

They need to have a specific shape and the charge of the substance must be compatible with the active site of the enzyme

Biological catalysts that facilitate chemical reactions in cells by lowering activation energy

A biochemical pathway that releases energy in glucose to form ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate, NADH from NAD+ and pyruvate

Carbon dioxide is released from organic intermediates, ATP is synthesized from ADP and inorganic phosphate, and electrons are transferred to the coenzymes NADH and FADH.

Electrons are transferred between molecules in a sequence of reactions and establish an electrochemical gradient of protons (hydrogen ions) across the inner mitochondrial membrane

A process that allows glycolysis to process in the absence of oxygen and produces organic molecules, including alcohol and lactic acid as waste products

Releases energy, which is used to power many metabolic processes

I’m the chloroplasts, mitochondria, and prokaryotic plasma membranes

Process when plants capture energy from the sun and produce sugars

Formation of the proton gradient, which is linked to the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate
