Bio4115 Cellular Biochemistry and Enzymes Quiz

Enzymes act as chemical accelerators, significantly reducing the reaction time from billions of years to milliseconds.

At least 6800 different reactions are estimated to be catalyzed by enzymes.

The two important concepts related to energy are thermodynamics and kinetics.

<p>The first law of thermodynamics is a principle of conservation, stating that the difference in energy between the substrate and product is constant (ΔG°).</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>$\Delta G° = \Delta H° - T \Delta S°$, where $\Delta G°$ is the free enthalpy or Gibbs energy, $\Delta H°$ is the enthalpy of reaction, $T$ is the temperature, and $\Delta S°$ is the entropy.</p> Signup and view all the answers
