-Key terms
- How do enzymes function to "speed up chemical reactions"? Use the terms substrate, product, reactant, catalyze, activation energy in your answer.
-Distinguish between catabolic and anabolic reactions.
-Describe and relate the two laws of thermodynamics to what goes on inside and outside of the cell.
-Describe how different forms of energy are converted in a cell.
-What does it mean when we say that reactions are spontaneous?
-Distinguish between oxidation and reduction? Be able to look at equations and see what is oxidized/reduced (if any).
-Describe the factors that control Gibb's free energy change. Know the equation.
-Describe energetically favorable/unfavorable reactions in terms of Gibb's free energy
-How do you get an unfavorable chemical reactions going?
-Describe the association rate and dissociation rate in terms of reactants and products. What factor(s) control these rates?
-Describe Vmax and Km in terms of enzyme and substrate
-Be able to use the Lineweaver-Burk equation to determine Vmax and Km
-Distinguish between competitive vs noncompetitive inhibitors
-How do these inhibitors affect Vmax and Km?
-What are the common activated carrriers? How do they work in terms of carrying energy?(Hint: What atom carries the "source of energy"?
