Metabolic processes
Across
- 3. the reduced form of the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.
- 6. standard quantity equal to approximately 6.022 x 10^23.
- 8. reaction: a chemical reaction in which energy is released , leaving the products with less chemical potential energy than the reactants.
- 9. state: a temporary condition during a chemical in which the bonds in the reactants are breaking and the bonds in the products forming.
- 11. energy : the energy of motion
- 12. Law of Thermodynamics: in every energy transfer or conversion, some of the useful energy in the system becomes unusable and increases the entropy of the universe.
- 17. transfer of a phosphate group, usually from ATP to another molecule.
- 18. pathway:a pathway where energy is released and complex molecules are broken down into simple molecules.
- 19. change : a change that will once begun continue on its own under a given set of conditions, does not require a continuous supply of energy.
- 21. reaction : a chemical reaction in which energy is absorbed giving the products more chemical potential energy than the reactants.
- 22. coupling :the transer of energy from one reaction to another in order to drive the second reaction.
Down
- 1. energy: the minimum amount of energy that is required to break a particular type of bond, measured in KJ per Mol of bonds.
- 2. pathway: a pathway in which energy is supplied to build complex molecules from simple molecules.
- 4. Law of Thermodynamics :principle that states that energy can be transferred or transformed but it cannot be created or destroyed.
- 5. energy :Gibbs free energy.
- 7. sum of all chemical reactions in a cell or organism.
- 10. reaction: a chemical reaction that absorbs free energy.
- 13. an enzyme that oxidizes a substrate and transfers hydrogen ions to an acceptor.
- 14. cycle: the cyclic and ongoing breakdown and re-synthesis of ATP.
- 15. energy:the minimum amount of energy that chemical reactants must absorb to start a reaction.
- 16. : a measurement of disorder in a system.
- 20. energy : stored energy
- 21. reaction : a chemical reaction that releases free energy.
