Term
redox reaction
Definition
reduction or oxidation of an electron
Term
reduction
Definition
gain electron, gain hydrogen, loose oxygen
Term
oxidation
Definition
looses electrons, loose hydrogen, gain oxygen
Term
What dictates the rate of a reaction
Definition
concentrations of reactants and products, alignment of reactants, minimum kinetic enegy of a reaction
Term

exergonic reaction

 

Definition
require an activation energy to overcome the energy barrier for the reaction, or substrates seldom have enough potential energy to spontaneously form product
Term
transition state
Definition
when substrate reaches its energy of activation
Term
irreversable inhibition
Definition
inhibitor permanetly alter active site, not useful in cells
Term
reversable inhibition
Definition
based on concentrations of reactants, indermediates and products
Term
competitive inhibition
Definition
both substrate and product bind at the same active site
Term
noncompetitive inhibition
Definition
binds at allosteric site
Term
cardinal temperature
Definition
minimum, maximum, and optimal temperature for each function
Term
Aerobic respiration
Definition
releases the energy present in the covalent bonds of glucose and traps a portion of this energy in the bonds as ATP
Term
Glycolysis
Definition
Anaerobic; in cytoplasm; first step in cellular respiration
Term
Pyruvate Oxidation
Definition
Aerobic; Matrix of the Mitochondria; 2nd step in cellular respiration
Term
Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle)
Definition
Aerobic; matrix of the mitochondrian; 3rd step in cellular respiration
Term
Electron transport chain
Definition
Aerobic; cristae of mitochondrian; 4th and final step in cellular respiration
Term
glycolysis makes...
Definition
2 ATP, 2 NADH
Term

2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 4 CO2
Term
ETC makes...
Definition
6 H2O
Term
chemiosmosis
Definition
34 ATP
Term
First pump in ETC
Definition
NADH reductase
Term
2nd pump in ETC
Definition
Seccinate dehydrogenase
Term
third pump in ETC
Definition
Cytochrome reductase
Term
fourth pump in ETC
Definition
cytochrome oxitase
Term
ATP synthase
Definition
pump in ETC that pumps hydrogens with their gradient to make 34 ATP
Term
Fermentation
Definition
limited ATP because theres no oxygen
Term
alcoholic fermentation
Definition
produces ethanol and CO2; takes place in yeast cells
Term
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Definition
produces lactic acid; takes place in human muscle cells
Term
catabolism
Definition
breaking things down in a cell using hydrolysis
Term
anabolism
Definition
building big molecules from smaller ones using dehydration synthesis
Term
potential energy
Definition
energy of place, position in space
Term
kinetic energy
Definition
energy of movement
Term
first law of thermodynamics
Definition
energy is neither created or destroyed just transformed; aka law of conservation of energy
Term
second law of thermodynamics
Definition
no energy transformation is 100% efficient therefore, entropy ( wasted energy) increases. aka law of entropy
Term
entropy
Definition
wasted energy; disorder; unusable energy
Term
total energy = ?
Definition
usable energy + unusable
Term
H =
Definition
total energy ( enthalpy)
Term
G=
Definition
free energy (usable)
Term
S=
Definition
unusable energy ( entropy)
Term
t=
Definition
absolute temperature
Term
-ΔG
Definition
free energy is released; covalent bonds are being broken
Term
+ΔG
Definition
free energy is added; covalent bonds are being formed
Term
exergonic reaction
Definition
energy is realeased ( -ΔG )
Term
endergonic reaction
Definition
energy is stored or added ( +ΔG )
Term
coupled reaction
Definition
exo and ender reactions are always together, can never have one without the other
Term
metabolic pathway
Definition
can go either way; substrate is different than product
Term
metabolic cycle
Definition
substrate and product are the same molecule
Term
enzyme catalized reaction
Definition
substrate ---> product
Term
substrate specific
Definition
enzymes will only work with their assigned substrate
Term
what dictates the rate of a reaction
Definition

-concentration of reactants and products

-allignment of reactants

-activation energy of a reactant

Term
enzyme
Definition
protein catalyst that lowers the actication enerfy of a  chemical reaction occurs at a rate the can support life.
Term
enzymes are regulated by..
Definition

-concentration gradients

-enviromental influences 

-inhibitors and activators 

Term
total energy
Definition
H=G+TS
Term
How do enzymes lower Activation energy
Definition

-orient the reactant 

-induce strain on the reactant ( induced fit model)

-temporary chemical charge

Term
Induced fit model
Definition

-the actice site will change shape to fit the substrates

transition state

-substrate becomes product

-enzyme returns to origional state

Term
inhibitor
Definition
makes active form less likely to occur
Term
activator
Definition
stabalizes active form of enzyme
Term
cooperativity
Definition
binding of substrate occurs at a faster rate after the first molecule is bound
Term
C6H12O6+6O2
Definition
6CO2+6H20+36\38 ATP
Term
-ΔG
Definition
-686 calories\mole
Term
coenzyme
Definition
aids an enzyme; binds at active site and is changed during the course of the reaction
