Document Summary
Molecular interactions: oxidation and reduction of functional groups, oxidation- usually associated with losing an h+ or with donating an electron to oxygen, reduction- associated with gaining an h+ In humans, a molecule of carotene can be broken down into two vitamin. A molecules: waxes- consisted of a saturated, long-chain fatty acid and a saturated, long- chain alcohol joined by an ester linkage. C; this activated enzyme then hydrolyzes the phosphodiester linkage joining the phosphorylated inositol unit to diacylglycerol (dag) Raf which is a protein kinase that phosphorylates molecules of mek; activated. Enzymes: metabolism is a network of biochemical pathways with each reaction catalyzed by an enzyme. In catalysis, the side chains of an enzyme"s amino acids can be direct participants in making its substrates more chemically reactive: enzyme inhibition. Glycolysis: takes place in the cytosol and involves ten enzyme-catalyzed reactions, glucose + energy-investing atp + hexokinase fructose 1,6 bisphosphate (6 carbon) .
