Review: Energy Transformations
ATP
drives chemical reactions for cellular
work
by
, transferring a phosphate to other molecules, and is
replenished
by cellular (aerobic)
.
An
is a
protein that speeds up a
reaction
without being consumed by the reaction.
An enzyme facilitates an
reaction
by
lowering
its
energy.
The enzyme is
activated
when its substrate binds to the protein's
site, and can be
inhibited
by the binding of other molecules.
Enzymes must be in the proper 3-dimensional
(conformation) to be active. Factors that affect enzyme function include
and pH, and most enzymes have an optimal temperature and pH
range.
