Metabolism
Enzymes
-
-
-
Most enzymes end in -ase (protease, nuclease, amylase...)
Enzymes recognize their specific substrate because they have specific amino acid sequences and shapes that allow them to have recognition ability

Activation Energy
Amount of energy needed to pus the reactants to the top of an energy barrier, or uphill, so that the downhill part of the reaction can begin
Gibbs Free Energy
-
-
-
H
-
Enthalpy
-
As enthalpy increases, free energy increases
-
As enthalpy decreases, free energy decreases
-
S
Entropy
-
As entropy increases, free energy decreases
As entropy decreases, free energy increases
-
ATP

3 Main kinds of Work
Chemical Work
Pushing of endergonic reactions that would not occur spontaneously, such as the synthesis of polymers from monomers
-
Mechanical Work
The contraction of muscle cells, and the movement of chromosomes during cellular reproduction
-
-
Made of the sugar ribose, with the nitrogenous base adenine and the chain of three phosphate groups bonded to it
