Document Summary

During a chemical reaction, the atoms keep their identity but the bonds linking them change. Here, carbon dioxide and water react to form carbonic acid. This reaction is a common reaction in an aqueous environment, and it explains why our oceans are becoming more acidic with the increasing amount of co2 in the atmosphere. Reactions such as this can also proceed in reverse, meaning that carbonic acid can dissociate to form carbon dioxide and water. A reverse reaction is indicated by the double arrows separating products and reactants. Catabolism subunits, sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, nucleotides anabolism. Substrate molecules bind to specific locations in an enzyme. The amino acids that form the active site are often far apart in the linear sequence of the unfolded enzyme. Protein folding brings specific amino acids close to each other to form the active site. Exergonic reaction require an activation step to be useful (regulated) Answer: because adp has only two phosphate groups.
