Bio 256 Unit 1D

all Chemical reactions

• breaking down of larger molecules to smaller
• releases energy

• building larger molecules from smaller
• uses energy

Capacity to do work 

release energy and produce heat

require input of energy

Mechanism to tie exergonic to endergonic reactions- ATP used as intermediate

site where enzyme and substrate meet

binding of subsrtate slightly changes shape of enzyme's active site

Bind enzymes away from active site

product of a metabolic pathway serves as the allosteric inhibitor of the first few enzymes

When product is decreased more is made
