|
Metabolism |
A sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions. The sequence may be in the form of a cycle or chain. |
|
|
Anabolism |
A metabolic pathway that builds up organic compounds |
|
|
Catabolism |
A metabolic pathway that breaks down organic compounds
|
|
|
Activation energy |
The energy required for a chemical reaction to begin |
|
|
Competitive inhibitor |
This inhibitor binds to the enzyme active site and prevents the substrate from forming an enzyme-substrate complex |
|
|
Non-competitive inhibitor |
The inhibitor and the substrate are not similar. the inhibitor binds to the enzyme at a site different from the active site. The enzyme changes shape as a result. The active site may or may not bind to the substrate, but it will no longer catalyse the reaction |
|
|
End-product inhibition |
This is when the product of the last product of a metabolic pathway inhibits an enzyme that catalyses an earlier reaction |
|
|
Name the product of glycolysis |
Pyruvate |
|
|
Name the substrate and product of the link reaction |
Substrate: pyruvate Product: Acetyl co-enzyme A |
|
|
In the Krebs cycle, does carboxylation occur, or does decarboxylation occur |
decarboxylation |
