Term
metabolism
Definition
totality of an organism's chemical reactions
Term
metabolic pathway
Definition
begins with a specific molecule, which then is altered by a series of defined steps
Term
Catabolic Pathway
Definition
releases energy by breaking down complex molecules to simpler compounds
Term
Anabolic Pathway
Definition
consumes energy to synthesize a complex molecule from simpler compounds
Term
Chemical Energy
Definition
energy available in a chemical rxn
Term
Thermodynamics (laws!!)
Definition
1- conservation of energy
2- every energy transformation increases the entropy of the universe
Term
entropy
Definition
measure of disorder
Term
free energy
Definition
portion of an organism's energy that can perform work when temp and perssure are uniform
Term
exergonic rxn
Definition
releases energy, decreases entropy of substance
Term
endergonic rxn
Definition
absorbs energy, increases entropy of substance
Term
energy coupling
Definition
the use of an exergonic rxn to drive an endergonic one
Term
ATP
Definition
Adenosine Triphosphate (made up of 3 phosphate groups, 1 ribose, and an adenine) RELEASES ENGERGY via hydrolisis
Term
phosphorylated
Definition
transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to another molecule (usually a reactant, and becomes less stable [more likely to react]) COUPLING RXNS
Term
enzyme
Definition
a protein (macromolecule) that acts as a catalyst for reactions, lowers activation energy as well
Term
catalyst
Definition
speeds up a reaction, w/out being consumed by it
Term
activation energy
Definition
the energy required by a reaction in order for it begin
Term
substrate
Definition
the reactant to which an enzyme works with
Term
enzyme-substrate complex
Definition
temporary complex where an enzyme binds to a substrate
Term
active site
Definition
A weak pocket of inter-actors that allow a specific substrate to be attracted to, and bind correctly with an enzyme
Term
induced fit
Definition
induced by entry of substrate, change in shape of the activation site so the enzyme and substrate bind more tightly together
Term
cofactors
Definition
a nonprotein that is required for the proper function of an enzyme
Term
coenzyme
Definition
organic cofactor that is required for the proper function of an enzyme
Term
competitive inhibitors
Definition
a substance that reduces the enzymes's reactivity via binding itself to the activation site
Term
noncompetitive inhibitors
Definition
a substance that reduces the enzyme's reactivity via binding itself to a non-activation site
Term
allosteric reguation
Definition
binding of a regulatory molecule at one site that affects the function of that protein at other sites
Term
cooperativity
Definition
type of allosteric reg., wehre the binding of one substrate affects the other substrates also binded to the same enzyme
Term
feedback inhibition
Definition
End product of a metabolic pathway acts as an inhibitor of another enzyme in the pathway
Term
DNA's amino acids
Definition
Adenine
Guanine
Thymine
Cytosine
Term
RNA's amino acids
Definition
Adenine
Guanine
Uracil
Cytosine
Term
ATP Energy
Definition
Energy from ATP comes from chemical change to a state of lower energy, to from phosphate bonds (energy released goes to proteins in cell)
Term
3 ways cells do work..
Definition
chemical, mechanical, and transport
Term
ATP cycle
Definition
shuttling of inorganic Phosphate and enegry, energy coupling!!
10 million regeneration/consumed a second!!!

Term
Nucleic Acids
Definition
true polymer, 3 parts (sugar , phosphate, nitrogen base)
Term
DNA & RNA
Definition
nucleic acids that store and transmit hereditary info
Term
lipids

-harmones
-cholesterol
-phospho-lipids
-insulation/protection
Term
phospho-lipids
Definition
head is phosphate (POLAR), tails are 2 fatty acid chains (NONPOLAR)
Term
