Chapter 6 2
A chemical reaction involves one or more substances being changed into new substances. It consists of reactants that are transformed into products, as represented by a balanced chemical equation showing the rearrangement of atoms. For a reaction to occur, the reactants must absorb a minimum amount of energy called the activation energy. Reactions can be endothermic, absorbing heat, or exothermic, releasing heat. Catalysts lower the activation energy needed and speed up the reaction without being used up themselves. Enzymes are biological catalysts with an active site that binds to substrate reactants.

Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions without being consumed in the process. They can catalyze both catabolic reactions that break down molecules, and anabolic reactions that build molecules up. Enzymes have an active site that binds to specific substrate molecules and a regulatory region that can be influenced by cofactors, coenzymes, or inhibitors. The binding of a substrate to an enzyme's active site is described by either the lock-and-key or induced-fit models. Factors like pH, temperature, enzyme and substrate concentrations can affect an enzyme's activity level.

Biology Unit 1 Notes: Enzymes
Enzymes are protein polymers that speed up chemical reactions in cells by lowering the activation energy required for reactions to occur. Enzymes catalyze reactions by binding to substrate molecules at their active sites, changing the substrate's shape in a way that makes the reaction easier to start. Once the reaction is complete, the enzyme detaches and can be reused for additional reactions. However, enzymes can become denatured by extreme temperatures, acids or bases, changing their structure and preventing them from functioning.
Chemical Reactions and Enzymes
Chemical reactions and enzymes are important for life. Chemical reactions involve reactants changing into products. Many reactions require energy to occur. Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts to lower the activation energy of reactions and allow them to proceed more quickly. They do this by binding to specific substrates to form enzyme-substrate complexes in their active sites. This specificity and ability to speed reactions allows enzymes to regulate the thousands of chemical processes constantly occurring in living things.

Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts made of proteins that allow reactions to occur more easily in cells. They speed up reactions without being used up in the process. Enzymes are found in the cytoplasm and organelles and are involved in breaking down molecules and synthesizing new ones. They work by orienting reactants in a specific way so that reactions can occur at the active site of the enzyme. The rate of enzymatic reactions depends on factors like temperature, amounts of reactants and products, pH, and other substances present that can inhibit the enzyme or alter its shape.
Types of chemical reactions
This document discusses classifying chemical reactions into synthesis, decomposition, or replacement reactions and defines exothermic and endothermic reactions. It also addresses factors that affect the rate of reactions such as temperature, surface area, stirring, concentration, and catalysts. Photosynthesis is used as an example of an endothermic reaction requiring light as a catalyst.
Energy and physiology
Organisms obtain energy through chemical reactions. Autotrophs like plants produce their own food through photosynthesis, an endothermic reaction that stores energy. Heterotrophs obtain energy by consuming other organisms. All organisms must obtain energy from outside sources according to the first law of thermodynamics. Chemical reactions are catalyzed by enzymes to make them fast enough to support life. Energy is required for synthesis reactions and released by decomposition reactions like cellular respiration. ATP is used to store and transport energy in cells.

Antigens and Immunogens | Dr.BGR Publications
Antigens are molecules that can bind to components of the immune system like antibodies, T cells, and B cells. They include proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, lipids, and nucleic acids and contain epitopes that antibodies bind to. Immunogens are antigens that can trigger an immune response, though not all antigens are immunogenic. Immunogens are typically proteins, peptides, and large polysaccharides but lipids and nucleic acids can also act as immunogens when bound to proteins or polysaccharides. The main difference between antigens and immunogens is that antigens can simply bind to the immune system while immunogens can induce an immune response.
Chemistry 2.2
The document discusses key concepts around rates of chemical reactions including:
- Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction. Reactions require molecules to collide with enough force to overcome this energy barrier.
- Reaction rate refers to how fast a reaction occurs once it has started and can be measured by how quickly reactants are consumed or products are formed.
- Factors that influence reaction rate include temperature, concentration, and surface area. Increasing temperature speeds up reactions by increasing molecular motion and collision energy. Higher concentrations increase reaction rate by providing more opportunities for collisions. Greater surface area exposes more reactants to collide by decreasing particle size.
Immune system for moodle
Viruses are not considered alive as they are not made of cells, do not use energy, and rely on host cells to express their genes and replicate. The immune system has non-specific defenses like skin, mucus, and stomach acid as a first line of defense and the inflammatory response as a second line. The immune system also has specific defenses triggered by antigens on pathogens including antibodies that bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by macrophages. The immune system develops immunological memory allowing a stronger secondary response compared to the primary response. Immune system disorders can include allergies where the immune system overreacts or autoimmune disorders where it mistakenly attacks the body's own cells.

Unit 5 dna etc for moodle 2013
This document provides information about DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. It describes the key components and double helix structure of DNA, including that it is made of nucleotides containing deoxyribose, phosphate groups, and one of four nitrogen bases (A, T, C, or G). The bases pair up in a specific way between strands. RNA is similar but contains ribose and uracil instead of thymine. DNA is transcribed into mRNA in the nucleus, then mRNA directs protein synthesis on ribosomes by matching codons to transfer RNA and amino acids. Mutations can occur through changes in the DNA sequence.
Energy Flow - Food Chains/Webs
This document discusses energy flow through ecosystems. It explains that the sun provides energy to producers like plants and algae, which are then consumed by herbivores as primary consumers. Higher-level consumers that eat other organisms are secondary and tertiary consumers. Multiple interconnected food chains make up a food web. Only about 10% of energy is transferred between trophic levels, so pyramid models depict this loss of available energy at higher levels.
ATP, Photosynthesis, and Cellular Respiration
This document discusses energy flow through photosynthesis and cellular respiration. It begins by defining energy and the different forms it can take, including chemical energy stored in ATP. Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen through two reactions - the light-dependent reaction where ATP is produced, and the Calvin cycle where glucose is formed. Cellular respiration breaks down glucose and uses oxygen to release the energy stored in ATP through three stages - glycolysis, the Krebs cycle in the mitochondria, and the electron transport chain where a large amount of ATP is generated to store energy from food.

Cancer slides2013
Cyclins regulate the cell cycle by signaling when cells should divide and progress through different phases. Internal regulators ensure cells are prepared for mitosis while external regulators control cell division rates in response to contact with other cells or signals. Cancer results from faulty cell cycle control where cells lose the ability to regulate growth and divide uncontrollably, potentially spreading through metastasis to form malignant tumors that displace normal tissue. Causes of cancer include carcinogens, DNA mutations, viruses, heredity, and radiation. Treatments aim to stop cell division through surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.
