Biochemical pathway
|
the reaction pathways along a cell in the cytoplasm. Any reaction which has many steps and requires the affect of many enzymes. Like Krebs, Glycolysis…
|
|
Cellular respiration
|
the taking in of O2 to facilitate the breakdown of glucose & other sugars into ATP.
|
|
Enzymes
|
substances that can be added into chemical reactions to lower its activation energy but otherwise not altering the reaction or being consumed.
|
|
Coenzymes
|
A non protein organic molecule that takes part in the catalysis of an enzyme.
|
|
Energy
|
the capacity to do work, often ATP. 2 categories, Potential and Kinetic. 8 forms: Mechanical, Thermal, Radiant, Electrical, Nuclear, Gravitational, Chemical, Sound.
|
|
FAD
|
a transport enzyme which carries low energy Hydrogen atoms in processes like Kreb’s Cycle.
|
|
NAD+
|
an enzyme that takes higher energy hydrogens NADH+H+
|
|
High energy bond
|
the bond created by Phosphates in ATP for example. P-O-P bonding.
|
|
Kinetic energy
|
energy of motion.
|
|
Oxidation
|
the liberation of energy by the loss of electrons in a chemical equation.
|
|
Reduction
|
the gain of energy
|
|
**** OIL RIG
|
Oxidation Is Loss Reduction Is Gain ****
|
|
Redox reactions
|
reactions that gain energy/electrons, like Light reactions and Dark Reactions in photosynthesis. Light to Dark is Reduced, Dark Back to Light is Oxidized.
|
|
Potential energy
|
stored energy.
|
|
Substrate
|
the molecule(s) on which a catalytic reaction is exerted by an enzyme.
|
|
Triphosphate group
|
three phosphates involved in ATP.
|
|
Aerobic respiration
|
Glycolysis to Krebs- uses air
|
|
Anaerobic respiration
|
Gycloyss to Fermentation.
