Energy Conversion. Most cellular activities involve converting energy from one form to another. For each of the following cases, give a biological example and explain the significance of the conversion.
(a) Chemical energy into mechanical energy
(b) Chemical energy into light energy
(c) Solar (light) energy into chemical energy
(d) Chemical energy into electrical energy
(e) Chemical energy into the potential energy of a concentration gradient

What constitutes the active site of an enzyme? What are the turnover number (kcat), the Michaelis constant (Km), and the maximal velocity (Vmax) of an enzyme? The kcat (catalytic rate constant) for carbonic anhydrase is 5 × 105 molecules per second. This is a “rate constant,” but not a “rate.” What is the difference? By what oncentration would you multiply this rate constant in order to determine an actual rate of prod- uct formation (V)? Under what circumstances would this rate become equal to the maximal velocity (Vmax) of the enzyme?arrow_forwardan inorganic ion.

In order to summarize Cellular Respiration reactions, draw FIVE big boxes in a line down the middle of your page. Write 1) Glycolysis, 2) Pyruvate Oxidation, 3) Citric Acid Cycle, 4) Electron Transport Chain, and 5) Chemiosmosis inside these boxes. Below each process name write WHERE it occurs. Make arrows going in and out of each box. Write IN and OUT on top of the page above the arrows. Each box represent multistep processes. You are focusing on the INPUTS and OUTPUTS. A. First focus on the flow of ENERGY. For each box write the INPUT and OUTPUT – the molecule(s) or form that contain the potential energy. B. Next, in a different color of ink (or highlighter) focus on the flow of ELECTRONS. For each box write the molecule(s) that carry the electrons from which you are harnessing energy. C. And finally, in a third color of ink (or highlighter) focus on the flow of CARBON. For each box write the carbon molecule (if any) from which you are harnessing energy.arrow_forward
