Chapter 4 metabolic processes

Enzymes jave the suffix

--ase

cofactors

A non-protein component that makes some enzymes active.

what are the two types of metabolic reactions?

Anabolism and Catabolism

All chemical reactions that occur in the body are.

metabolic processes

What regulates the metabolic pathways

negative feedback adn limited number of regulatory enzymes

Coenzymes

organic molecules that act as cofactors example vitamins

dehydration syntheisis produces what?

produces water

enzymes

protein substances that speed up chemical reactions.

what determines the active site of substrate?

shape

enzymes are ---------specific.

substrate

enzyme action-metabolic pathways

each new substrate is the product of the previous reaction

anabolism provides for what two things?

Cellular growth and repair

What factors alter enzymes?

Heat, Radiation, Electricity, Chemicals, Changes in PH

catabolism

Process of breaking down complex materials (foods) to form simpler substances and release energy.

Examples of enzymes

Sucrase, lactase, protease, lipase

What is used to split the substances during the catobolic process?

Water

anabolism

builds large molecules from simple ones; requires energy

What process is used to decompose carbohydrates, lipid and proteins?

catobolic process

What do enzymes do?

control the rate of metabolic reactions

What anabolic process is used to make polysaccharides, triglycerides and proteins.

dehydration synthesis
