Metabolism - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Enzymes remain unchanged after the reaction
      - High turnover rates, up to 1:600.000, meaning a small amount can do very much
    - - Some of the reactions can be reversed, some not
    - - Has an optimal heat and pH, differs between enzymes
    - - Bond specificity : targets a bond
      - Group specificity : Targets groups/structures
      - Subtrate specificity : targets specifically a substrate
      - Optical specificity : targets not only the substrate, but also its optical configuration
      - Co-factor specificity : specific to substrate + co-factor
      - Geometrical specificity : Targets structures with similar geometry
  - - - Protein, most dominant structure, affected by temperature and pH. Cannot survive in high heat.
    - - Anorganic ions (CoFactor)
        
        Optimalize enzyme function
      - Complex organic ions (CoEnzyme)
        
        Moves chemicals from an enzyme to another enzyme
  - - - Lock and key model
        
        The enzymes active site is rigid and static. Doesn't need another catalyst.
      - Induced fit model
        
        The active site may change to accomodate the subtrate
  - - - Increasing substrate doesn't mitigate the effects
    - - Increasing substrate can mitigate the effects
- - - - Anaerobic : No oxygen, produces lactic acid for animals or Ethanol for yeast
        
        Alcohol fermentation
- - - - CO2 + H2O + Energy --> C6H12O6 + Oxygen
