Quiz: irreversible inhibitors
Ans: chemically and covalently bind to active site; rendering it permanently
inactive
Quiz: psuedoirreversible inhibitors
Ans: extremely high affinities for active site; hard to displace

, Quiz: photosynthesis
Ans: anabolic process that converts sunlight into energy stored in the
phosphate bonds of ATP, then more permanently stored in bonds of
organic carbon compounds
Quiz: electron transport chain
Ans: series of carrier molecules on the inner mitochondrial membrane which
pass electrons through enzymes that pump protons to one side of the
membrane, creating a proton gradient
Quiz: chemiosmosis
Ans: the use of a gradient, such as a proton gradient, to generate energy.
The ATP synthase enzyme uses the kinetic movement of protons down
the gradient to store energy by converting ADP to ATP
Quiz: ATP
Ans: Adenosine tri phosphate, a modified nucleotide that stores energy in it's
phosphate bonds.
Quiz: fermentation
Ans: glycolysis and the additional steps leading to the formation of ethanol
or lactic acid, to make ATP. It does not include the Kreb's cycle
(producing CO2) or the ETC.
Quiz: occluding/tight junctions
