Chapter 3 Energy, Chemical Reactions & Cellular Respiration Outline Describe the structure and function of ATP as well as how ATP can be stored and released Compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy and describe how they relate to the Laws of Thermodynamics Explain the three major types of chemical reactions: synthesis, decomposition, and exchange (oxidation-reduction) Describe how reactions are classified using the following terms: anabolic, catabolic, endergonic, exergonic, reversible, irreversible Define reaction rate, activation energy, catalyzed reaction, and uncatalyzed reaction Explain the structure and function of enzymes and why they are important to the human body Describe the mechanism of enzyme action and discuss the role of the active site and cofactors in that process Describe the effects of substrate concentration, temperature, and pH on reaction rates (also know the optimal temperature and pH ranges for enzymes) Compare and contrast competitive and noncompetitive inhibition Define metabolism and explain how metabolic pathways are examples of negative feedback
