Rules of Metabolic Reactions

potential energy

The change in ________ occurs because the new bonds formed in the products are much stronger than those in ATP.

kinetic energy

An increase in temperature will raise the average ________ of the reactant molecules.

Temperature

________: An increase in ________ typically increases the rate of reaction.

Surface area

________: Large surface area helps more reactant molecules to undergo reaction at the same time to convert into the product, as the number of molecules undergoing reaction at the same time increases, the rate of reaction increases.

positive ΔG

A(n) ________ indicates that the reaction is endergonic, or that it requires energy to go from reactants to products.

substrate concentration

Increasing ________ also increases the rate of reaction to a certain point.

Gibbs free energy graph

The ________ shows whether or not a reaction is spontaneous-- whether it is exergonic or endergonic.

ATP hydrolysis

________ is exergonic because the entropy of the product molecules is higher than that of the reactants, and because there is a large drop in potential energy when ATP is hydrolyzed to form ADP and Pi.

Concentration

________: Increasing the ________ of one or more reactants will often increase the rate of reaction.

Temperature

  An increase in temperature typically increases the rate of reaction

Concentration

Increasing the concentration of one or more reactants will often increase the rate of reaction

Surface area

Large surface area helps more reactant molecules to undergo reaction at the same time to convert into the product, as the number of molecules undergoing reaction at the same time increases, the rate of reaction increases

The Gibbs free energy graph shows whether or not a reaction is spontaneous-

whether it is exergonic or endergonic
