Document Summary

The study of the energy flow during chemical and physical reactions. Chemical or physical reaction that occurs without help. The atoms or molecules entering a chemical reaction. The energy in a system that is available to do work. The number of molecules or ions of a substance in a unit volume of space. Reaction that has a negative delta g because it releases free energy. Reaction that can proceed only if free energy is supplied. Type of metabolic pathway in which energy is released by the breakdown of complex molecules to simpler compounds. Cellular reaction that breaks down complex molecules such as sugar to make their energy available for cellular work. Type of metabolic pathway in which energy is consumed to build complicated molecules from simpler ones; often called a biosynthetic pathway. Metabolic reaction that requires energy to assemble simple substances into more complex molecules.

Homeostasis refers to maintaining a relatively constantenvironment, and is achieved to a large extent by how enzymes areregulated. For example, when the end product of a pathway regulatesan enzyme that acts early in the same pathway, the effect is mostoften:

	stimulation if an anabolic pathway, and inhibition if acatabolic pathway
	inhibition if an anabolic pathway, and stimulation if acatabolic pathway
	stimulation, whether an anabolic or catabolic pathway
	inhibition, whether an anabolic or catabolic pathway

Enzymes function by:

	decreasing the free energy level of the reactants
	decreasing the free energy level of the transition state
	increasing the free energy level of the reactants
	changing delta G from positive to negative
	changing delta G from negative to positive
	increasing the free energy level of the products
