Document Summary

Concept 8. 4: enzymes speed up metabolic reactions by lowering energy. Barriers: a catalyst is a chemical agent that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by the reaction, an enzyme is a catalytic protein, hydrolysis of sucrose by the enzyme sucrose is an example of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. Effects of local conditions on enzyme activity: an enzyme"s activity can be affected by, general environmental factors like ph and temperature, chemicals that specifically influence it. Cofactors: cofactors are non-protein enzyme helpers, may be inorganic or organic, organic cofactor: coenzyme, include vitamins. Essential organic nutrient for heterotrophic organisms & other vitamins are converted of built into coenzymes in the body. Feedback inhibition: in feedback inhibition, the end product of a metabolic pathways shuts down the pathway by acting typically on the first step, prevents a cell from wasting chemical resources by synthesizing more product than is needed.
