Exam 6: Energy and Metabolism

When an atom or molecule gains one or more electrons, it is said to be:

While conducting an experiment, you realize that a competitive inhibitor was interfering with your reaction.How could you overcome this problem?

The inorganic non-protein components that participate in enzyme catalysis are known as

If the $\Delta$ G of a reaction was -31.45 kJoules, you would know that:

In a chemical reaction, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate + NAD⁺ yields 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + NADH.In this reaction, what happened to NAD⁺?

You eat a bowl of beans as part of your dinner.As you digest the beans, the proteins that are present get broken down to their component amino acids.As your body destroys the macromolecules that were present in the beans, is the energy present in those molecules destroyed?

Enzyme 1 converts substrate A into product B. Is this an example of a metabolic pathway?

If you were able to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules inside your body, how would this affect your body temperature?

Glucose is broken down through cellular respiration, which involves a large number of chemical reactions.At the end of the cellular respiration process, a large number of ATP molecules are generated, but yet, not all of the possible energy that is contained in a molecule of glucose can be harnessed through these chemical reactions to generate ATP.In other words, during cellular respiration, not all of the energy that is contained in a molecule of glucose is converted into the energy stored in ATP.What happens to the remaining energy?

The Law of Thermodynamics that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed is:

In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the reactant is called the

A drug binds to the active site of an enzyme.If it is bound to the active site of the enzyme, it prevents substrate binding.This drug would be considered a
