What is metabolism in living organisms?
The sum of all chemical reactions converting reactants into products.
What type of energy change characterizes anabolic reactions?
They are endergonic, requiring energy.
Which forms of energy are important to living organisms?
Kinetic, potential, thermal, and chemical energy.
What is ATP in cellular energy use?
The energy currency used in cells.
Metabolism definition
Sum of all chemical reactions in organisms.
Anabolic reactions
Require energy; build macromolecules.
Catabolic reactions
Release energy; break down substrates.
Energy currency
ATP in cells.
Enzyme active site
Region where substrate binds.
Induced fit model
Substrate binding changes enzyme shape.
Kerene vs induced fit
Lock-and-key is rigid; induced fit molds enzyme.
