Document Summary

Occur anytime two or more atoms, ions, or molecules collide in such a way that they produce a new substance. First law: energy can be neither created nor destroyed only converted from one form to another. Second law: when converting energy from one form to another the amount of useful energy decreases. Non-living: less organized, lower energy, very slow. Living: highly organized, high energy, fast. How do living systems accomplish this: external energy source, organic catalysts (enzymes) Enzymes: almost all are protein, large globular proteins, organic catalysts, speed up the rate of a reaction, but are not used up during the reaction, specific. The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme. This alters the shape of the enzyme. Creating a fit that promotes the reaction. Inhibitor binds to the active site and blocks access to thee active site. Inhibitor binds to a site other than the active site and alters the shape of the active site.
