coenzymes are organic ions and molecules that help the enzyme become the correct shape for the substrate to fit

cofactors are non-organic things that help the enzyme become the correct shape for the substrate

active site is where the substrate binds too - part of the enzyme

1st law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed

2nd law of thermodynamics states that every reaction increases the entropy of the universe

allosteric site is where non-competitive inhibitors attach to the enzyme

inhibitors change the shape of the enzyme

competitive inhibitors compete with substrates in the active site, making it so the substrate cannot bind to the enzyme

endergonic reactions use potential energy

exergonic reactions release energy

phosphorylation is gaining a phosphate

phosphorylation is losing a phosphate

coupled reactions is when the energy released from the exergonic reaction is used to fuel endergonic reactions

enzymes increase the rate of reactions

pH, salinity, temp, concentration, activators, and inhibitors affect enzyme activity

rate is Rise/Run

feedback inhibition is regulation and coordination of production (ex: product G is an allosteric inhibitor for product A)

organisms get energy from photosynthesis

pH has hydrogen bonds that interfere with ionic bonds v

temp affects active site collisions

substrate/enzyme concentration affects the rate of reactions

potential energy is the energy left over that can be used for re

kinetic energy is the motion energy

chemical energy is stored in bonds
