cellular metabolism reactions
Metabolism is an important property of life that results from cell interaction with molecules. It controls energy usage of the cell.
Catabolic Pathways is the process that helps to release energy by breaking down complex molecules.
Anabolic Pathways is the process in which energy is consumed to build molecules.
Energy is the ability for a cell to do work.
Kinetic Energy is energy in motion.
Chemical Energy is energy stored in molecules.
Potential Energy is stored energy. Once in emotion it turns into kinetic energy.
first law of thermodynamics is the law in which energy can not be created nor destroyed. it is important because it means that everything requires energy.
free energy is energy available to do work.
ATP is important to the reactions because it is the main agent of which energy runs on. it helps the transfer of molecules throughout the cell and helps to facilitate reactions
catalyst helps to speed up reactions without being consumed it self as energy.
enzymes are catalytic proteins that helps chemical reactions
competitive inhibitors that block enzymes from speeding up reaction by blocking substrates.
noncompetitive inhibitors affects substrates by changing the shape of the enzyme which altars its productivity. substrate reactant enzymes use to speed up productivity of reaction by entering active sites.
