Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The cells use the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules for carrying out the energy-requiring processes. The ATP is the high energy phosphate compound. The energy of the cell is stored in the bonds of the ATP molecule.  Hence, it is also referred to as the currency of the cell.

oxidase 12 Cyanide is a toxic chemical that hinders the production of ATP by inhibiting the enzyme cytochrome a. Using the graph to explain whether cyanide's inhibition of cytochrome oxidase is competitive or non competitive inhibition. Provide evidence to support your answer. b. Using the graph below, draw an additional curve on the graph here you would expect the other type of inhibition to lie and label the lines competitive and non competitive inhibitor. Reaction Rate ↑ -Without Cyanide -> With Cyanide Substrate Concentration ㅋ
Relating to bioenergetics:   a. The equilibrium constant for a particular reaction is 6.8 x 10-5 which makes this reaction exergonic. True or False?b. All processes that occur in the universe are spontaneous and have low enough activation energies that molecules can often overcome the energy barrier. True or False?c. ATP has a highly negative free energy change in part because the negative charges on the oxygens repel each other in ATP but less so in ADP. True or False?
Evaluate the following statements concerning enzyme kinetics. Which one of the statements is false?   a. Enzyme saturation fluctuates.   b. In an uninhibited enzymatic reaction system, adding an excess of substrate will increase the reaction velocity beyond Vmax.   c. The Vmax of an enzyme kinetics graph represents the point at which the enzyme is saturated with substrate.   d. Non-competitive inhibition of an enzymatic reaction can be overcome by adding more unaltered enzyme.   e. The activation energy of a reaction can be reduced by the presence of an enzyme.
