Front 1

Holoenzyme

Back 1

an enzyme with it's apoenzyme and cofactors. Also known as a conjugated enzyme.

Front 2

Substrate

Back 2

Name given to the compound in which an enzyme will act on.

Front 3

Denaturation

Back 3

Proteins losing their 3D structure as a consequence of changes in the environmental conditions such as excessive heat or salt

Front 4

Protein Folding

Back 4

Determines the 3D shape in enzymes needed for substrate specificity

Front 5

Endergonic Reactions

Back 5

Reactions that consume energy

Front 6

Fermentation

Back 6

The incomplete breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen that yields only a small amount of ATP and produces a variety of byproducts

Front 7

ATP contains how many phosphate groups?

Back 7

Front 8

Anabolism

Back 8

The cellular process of taking monomers of compounds and producing polymers

Front 9

Gluconeogenesis

Back 9

manufacture of sugars from the incomplete oxidation of carbohydrates during glycolysis

Front 10

Substrate Level Phosphorylation

Back 10

Phosphate groups are transferred from 1 molecule to AMP or ADP to form ATP

Front 11

Oxidative Phosphorylation

Back 11

An electron transport system and chemiosmosis are used to produce ATP in nonphotosynthetic microorganisms

Front 12

ATP synthase

Back 12

Enzyme in the mitochondrial cristae that harnesses the flux of hydrogen ions across the membrane during oxidative phosphorylation

Front 13

Beta Oxidation

Back 13

Is a metabolic pathway in which fatty acids are metabolized

Front 14

Transamination

Back 14

Reactions that involve the transfer of amino group from an amino acid to a carbohydrate

Front 15

Coenzyme

Back 15

A complex organic molecule, often derived from vitamins, that acts in conjunction with an enzyme
