Document Summary

Simple control circuit: the product of a pathways inhibits the rst enzyme that begins the pathways. Too little substrate active sites not lled as often as possible. Too much substrate not enough active sites available: temperature: each enzyme has an optimal temperature at which its reaction rate is the greatest. Temperature rate of enzyme reaction. Temperature too much enzyme denatures: ph: each enzyme has an optimal ph at which its reaction rate is greatest. Extreme ph enzyme denatures: cofactors: non-protein helpers. Metals: inorganic (e. g. zinc, iron, copper: inhibitors & activators: Non-competitive inhibitor: does not enter the active site, but binds else where, changing the shape of active site so the substrate is unable to: an example of negative feedback. Allosteric regulation: either activates or inhibits allosteric enzymes: allosteric enzymes: switch between active & inactive forms, allosteric inhibition: stabilizes an enzyme in its inactive form, allosteric activation: stabilizes an enzyme in its active form.

2.During heavy exercise, lactic acid can build up in ourmuscles. Why? How does this resemble the metabolism of bacteria andyeast?

lactic acid is results from insufficient oxygen during sugarmetabolism; it is fermentation

lactic acid accumulates when we are dehydrated; bacteria andyeast use the same pathway

lactic acid is built up from carbon dioxide; bacteria and yeaststore energy in this way

3.Why must a cell keep a similar concentration of dissolvedsubstances with the fluid surrounding them?

to avoid dilution of potential energy

to avoid osmotic imbalance and rapid gain or loss of water

to maintain the correct amount of dehydration and hydrolysis

carbon dioxide and water

glucose and oxygen

oxygen and carbon dioxide

oxygen and water

6.The main reason that cellular respiration needs to occur stepby step instead of a single, big reaction is

cells don't store enough oxygen

too much energy would be released for the cell to harness

cells don't have many mitochondria.

cells produce the enzymes needed for cellular respiration veryslowly
