Metabolism and Enzymes
Enzymes
Definition: Proteins that act as biological catalysts (biocatalysts), of which accelerate chemical reactions
Composing material: Proteins (Apoenzyme), and non-proteins (Cofactors)
Properties:
-
Is reusable, enzyme doesn't get destroyed during reaction
-
Lock & Key Theory:
The enzyme act as a lock, as the substrate enters, as if a key, towards the enzyme, of which the enzyme breaks it into two or particles, of which are all products of the reaction
Induced Fit Theory:
It is similar to the Lock & Key theory, except that both the substrate and the enzyme is not exactly of a fitting shape, yet both change each other's shape so that they could bind and react
Enzyme Inhibitors:
They are molecules of which blocks the activity of an enzyme. It does this by attaching itself to the active region of the enzyme, of which causes the enzyme to be unable to accept substrates

Metabolism
Catabolism
Definition: Breaks down molecules into smaller units that are either oxidized to release energy or used in anabolism.
Carbohydrates:
Glycolysis
"Sugar splitting" in a literal manner, is the initial process in the cellular respiration pathway. They are split into two pathways: aerobic and anaerobic.
