Anatomy & Physiology Biochemistry
Exam Questions With Complete
Solutions
Biochemistry - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the study of the chemical substances and
| | | | | | | | | |
processes in living things.
| | |
Biochemical Reaction - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the interaction of two or more
| | | | | | | | | |
substances to produce another substance.
| | | |
Reactants - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The substances that interact in a biochemical
| | | | | | | | | |
reaction.
Product - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the substance that is produced in the
| | | | | | | | | |
biochemical reaction |
Synthesis Reaction - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The formation of a chemical
| | | | | | | | |
compound through the combination of simpler compounds or elements. often
| | | | | | | | | |
represented as: A + B --> AB. | | | | | |
Decomposition Reaction - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-a reaction in which a more
| | | | | | | | | |
complex substance is broken down into two or more smaller substances. This
| | | | | | | | | | | |
reaction is often represented as: AB --> A + B.
| | | | | | | | |
, Reversible Reaction - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-reactants can interact to form
| | | | | | | | |
products, but products can also react to form the reactants. In other words, these
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
reactions can take place in either direction according to the conditions that are
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
present.
Activation Energy - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the energy required for a reaction to
| | | | | | | | | | |
start.
Substrate - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the substance or molecule on which an
| | | | | | | | | |
enzyme functions. |
enzyme-substrate complex - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Together with enzymes,
| | | | | | |
substrates form this. | |
active site - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the area of an enzyme where the substrate
| | | | | | | | | | | |
binds and the chemical reaction takes place.
| | | | | |
induced fit - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the change in enzyme shape to
| | | | | | | | | |
accommodate and bind to a substrate. | | | | |
cofactors - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-molecules that increase the rate of reaction or
| | | | | | | | | | |
are required for enzyme function.
| | | |
Prosthetic groups - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-cofactors that bind tightly to proteins
| | | | | | | | | |
or enzymes.
