Enzyme Function and Regulation Concepts

Transporting molecules across membranes

Releasing energy from ATP

Building larger molecules from smaller ones

Breaking down large molecules

Protein synthesis

Cellular respiration

DNA replication

Photosynthesis

Adenosine triphosphate

Adenine diphosphate

Adenine triphosphate

Adenosine diphosphate

Through photosynthesis

By converting it into glucose

By adding a phosphate group

Through hydrolysis, breaking it into ADP and a phosphate ion

It breaks down glucose for energy

It binds to motor proteins, allowing muscle filaments to move

It stores energy in muscle cells

It transports oxygen to muscles

They store genetic information

They speed up reactions and can also inhibit them

They transport molecules across cell membranes

They act as a source of energy

A molecule that breaks down ATP

A molecule that speeds up enzyme activity

A molecule that binds to a different site on the enzyme

A molecule that binds to the active site, preventing substrate binding

It converts the enzyme into a substrate

It increases the enzyme's activity

It binds elsewhere on the enzyme, changing its shape

It binds to the active site, blocking the substrate

The conversion of glucose into energy

The binding of a molecule to an enzyme to regulate its activity

The transport of molecules across membranes

The process of breaking down ATP

The process of ATP synthesis

The end product of a reaction regulating the process

The breakdown of enzymes

The transport of proteins across membranes
