-
active transport
uses energy to go from low to high concentration of ion
-
in cystic fibrosis the cells of the respirtory system...
have a bad Cl- active transporter gene
-
exocytosis
pushes things out of the cell
-
endocytosis
brings things inside the cell
-
receptor mediated endocytosis
things come in the cell because there is a receptor on the outside saying "over here"
-
-
pinocytosis
cell drinking
-
cellular respiration
cells making energy from food
-
energy
capacity to do work
-
potential energy
energy that isn't being used. example: car @ top of hill
-
kinetic energy
energy that is being actively used. example: car going up hill
-
chemical energy
energy that is stored in chemical reactions; potential energy; atp
-
first law of thermodynamics
energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can change its form
-
2nd law of thermodynamics
when energy is converted from one form to another, the amount of useful energy decreases
-
entropy
randomness and disorder that increases from 2nd law
-
exergonic
extra energy is given off when the bonds forms
-
endergonic
it takes extra energy to form a bond
-
metabolism
sum of all chemical reactions
-
catabolism
breaks large molecules into small. example: NaCl--- Na + Cl-
-
anabolism
small molecules built up to large. example: Na + Cl- = NaCl
-
enzymes
proteins that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy; catalysts; very specific; very efficient
-
energy of activation
energy needed to make a reaction go
-
substrate
molecule to be changed; key
-
active site
part of the enzyme that binds to the substrate; lock
-
many diseases/disorders are caused by..
missing a particular enzyme
-
changing the temperature, ph or salt concentraion will...
change the enzyme's activity
-
coenzyme
small organic molecule that is required for some enzymes to work
-
cofactor
small, inorgainc molecule that is required for some enzymes to work; iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium
-
competitive inhibition
something else competes for the active site; sulfa drugs
-
sulfa drugs keepĀ
PABA from being converted to folic acid
-
irreversible inhibition
changes structure of enzyme so it doesn't work any more. example: mercury
-
enzyme names end in
ase; penicillinase, lactase, nuclease, lipase
