|
Enzymes |
Speed up metabolic reactions by lowering energy barriers. Are made of protein. Active site. |
|
|
Substrate |
The substrate it the reactant the substrate acts on. |
|
|
Active site |
Place on the enzyme that the substrates bond to. |
|
|
How do you increase the saturated enzymes reactions? |
Adding more enzymes |
|
|
What's the optimal tempature for human enzymes? |
35-40 c |
|
|
The pH of most enzymes is? |
6-8 |
|
|
Competitive inhibition |
The are fake substrate, bind to the site and keep our real, can fix my increasing concentration of the substrate |
|
|
Feedback inhibition |
The product being produced can inhibit the enzyme that makes the product, shutting off the system if there's too many |
|
|
Allosteric site |
A receptor on the enzyme away from the active site- if they get triggered it can either inbit or stimulate their enzyme |
|
|
Definition of metabolism |
Refers to all the chemical reactions that occurs within the body |
|
|
What's neutral pH? |
7 |
|
|
Which comes first in pH scale? |
Acid (acid, neutral, base) |
|
|
What's hypotonic? |
A hypotonic solution has less solutes in it than the cell does. Water moves in and the cell gets very firm. |
|
|
Hypertonic |
A solution with a higher amount of solutes in than the cell has. The cell will lose water and possibly die |
|
|
What is atp? |
Adenosine triphosphate. Made of adenosine and three phosphate groups. Stores and supplies the cell with energy |
|
|
Enzymes |
Aren't used up in the reaction, lower the energy needed to activate the system, conductors of chemical reactors |
|
|
Catabolism |
Breaks stuff down, hydrolysis |
|
|
Anabolic |
Builds stuff up, dehydration synthesis |
