hmwrk 8 exam review

Chemoautotroph

Organism using inorganic carbon and chemical energy.

Active site

Part of enzyme where substrate binds.

Krebs cycle

Produces 2CO2, 1ATP, 3NADH, 1FADH2 per acetyl.

Ethanol fermentation

Process using Saccharomyces cerevisiae for alcohol production.

Phospholipid breakdown

Does not produce glucose during degradation.

Lactic acid fermentation

Fermentation product that causes bread to rise.

Electron transport system (ETS)

Series of proteins transferring electrons in membranes.

Prokaryotic ETS location

Located in the cytoplasmic membrane of prokaryotes.

Competitive inhibitor

Resembles substrate, blocking enzyme activity.

Caseinase

Extracellular protease detected by skim milk agar.

Enzyme function

Enzymes reduce activation energy for reactions.

H+ pumping

Electrons pump protons out during ETS in prokaryotes.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Yeast used in fermentation for alcoholic beverages.
