Front

What is Noncompetitive Inhibition?

Back

A type of enzyme inhibition where the inhibitor binds to an enzyme at a site other than the active site, reducing the enzyme's activity regardless of substrate concentration.

Front

Where do the light dependent reactions occur in photosynthesis?

Back

In the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts.

Front

What is the net ATP production of glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis produces a net of 2 ATP.

Front

What are enzymes primarily made of?

Back

Enzymes are usually proteins.

Front

What is Competitive Inhibition?

Back

A type of enzyme inhibition where the inhibitor competes with the substrate for binding to the active site of the enzyme.

Front

What is the role of the thylakoid membrane?

Back

The thylakoid membrane is where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place, capturing light energy.

Front

What is the primary function of glycolysis?

Back

To break down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH.

Front

What is the difference between competitive and noncompetitive inhibition?

Back

Competitive inhibition involves the inhibitor competing with the substrate for the active site, while noncompetitive inhibition involves the inhibitor binding to a different site, affecting enzyme activity regardless of substrate presence.

Front

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

A metabolic pathway that uses energy released by the oxidation of nutrients to produce ATP, primarily occurring in the mitochondria.

Front

What is the significance of the active site of an enzyme?

Back

The active site is the region of the enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.
