Study Notes
Unit 4 Study Guide: Enzymes and ATP
Concept 1: Enzymes and Biochemical Reactions
- Summarize how energy changes during a chemical reaction as bonds break and form.
- Explain the overall function of enzymes in biochemical reactions, like photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
- Draw and label energy diagrams of biochemical reactions (endothermic and exothermic), including products, reactants, and activation energy.
- Describe five factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions.
- Interpret diagrams of the enzyme-substrate complex, identifying the substrate, active site, enzyme, and products.

Concept 2: Adenosine Triphosphate
- Explain the purpose of ATP.
- Draw the structure and label the parts of a molecule of ATP.
- Describe the ATP-ADP cycle, including what is and isn't recycled and the role of ATP synthase.
- Explain what energy is used for when a phosphate is removed, and where that energy comes from initially.
- Summarize why the overall process of breaking down ATP is considered an exothermic process, while the overall process of forming ATP is considered an endothermic process.
