Metabolism and cellular respiration

Energy, enzymes and the laws of thermodynamics as cells obey them, then glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation and the fermentation routes that do without oxygen.

Five cards from this deck

Taken from the published archive, unedited. A deck page that shows no card says nothing.

  • Front acetyl CoA
    Back combination of an acetyl group derived from pyruvic acid and coenzyme A, which is made from pantothenic acid (a B-group vitamin)
  • Front active site
    Back specific region of the enzyme to which the substrate binds
  • Front aerobic respiration
    Back process in which organisms convert energy in the presence of oxygen
  • Front allosteric inhibition
    Back inhibition by a binding event at a site different from the active site, which induces a conformational change and reduces the affinity of the enzyme for its substrate
  • Front anabolic
    Back (also, anabolism) pathways that require an input of energy to synthesize complex molecules from simpler ones

This deck was modified when it was brought in: Entries were taken from the end-of-chapter glossaries of chapters 6, 7 and gathered into one deck; the chapter structure of the book is not reproduced. HTML formatting was stripped to plain text, and superscripts and subscripts were converted to the corresponding Unicode characters so that a charge or an index is not lost (H⁺, not H+; T₄, not T4). An entry was dropped when its definition is shorter than 30 characters or longer than 400 characters, when it contains an image, a table or a mathematical formula that is not reproduced here, when it refers to a figure, a table or another chapter, when it is dated by wording such as "currently" or "as of", when it is a bare cross-reference to another term, or when a superscript could not be converted faithfully. Duplicates were removed on the term and on the definition alike, both compared after lowercasing, removing parentheses and reducing plurals to singulars; a term or a definition already used by another Memoquiz deck built from OpenStax was dropped as well. Each deck is capped at 150 entries and holds at least 30. The wording of every definition that was kept is unchanged.
