Document Summary

Chemical reactions: occur anytime two or more atoms, ions, or molecules collide in such a way that they produce a new substance. Laws of thermodynamics: first law, energy can neither be created nor destroyed only converted from one form to another, second law, when converting energy from one form to another, the amount of useful energy decreases negative) Living vs. non-living systems: non-living, less organized, lower energy, very slow, living, highly organized, high energy, fast. How do living systems accomplish this: external energy source, organic catalysts (enzymes) Enzymes: almost all are proteins, large globular proteins. Enzyme function: organic catalysts, speed up the rate of a reaction, but are not used up during the reaction, specific. Induced-fit model: the substrate binds to the active site, this alters the shape of the enzyme, creating a fit that promotes the reaction. What do the following have in common: roundup (glyphosphate, anti-bacterial hand cleaner (tricolsan, viagra (sildenafil, aleve (naproxen sodium, work as enzyme inhibitars.
