 The process of removing electrons from molecules. | Oxidation |
| The process of adding electrons to a molecule. | Reduction |
| Chemical reactions in the cell need what to make them happen. | Activation energy |
| Special proteins that bring together two or more reacting molecules without being part of the reaction. | Enzymes |
| Any chemical that speeds up a reaction without being part of it. | Catalyst |
| Involves competition between inhibitor and substrate fir the active site. | Competitive inhibition |
| Inhibitor binds to enzyme somewhere other than the active site. | Noncompetitive inhibition |
| Anaerobic process - energy is conserved by substrate level phosphorylation and organic molecules serve as both the source and the final acceptors. Produce alcohol. | Fermentation |
| Process of conserving energy from wither organic or inorganic molecules via electron transport phosphorylation and using atmospheric oxygen or inorganic molecules as terminal electron receptors. ATP. | Respiration |
| Harvests energy from sunlight via the mechanism of electron transport phosphorylation. | Photophosphorylation |
