Thermodynamics Vocab.

2. organic molecule that participates in reaction, but is left unchanged afterward
4. hydrolysis of this molecule can be coupled to an endergonic reaction to make the whole reaction be spontaneous
6. reactants that bind to active site
7. law of thermodynamics that says that entropy always increases
8. name of site where reaction takes place
10. type of energy that is initially needed to start a reaction
11. another word for not spontaneous
14. an agent that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction without being changed during the reaction (WILL NOT MAKE ANYTHING HAPPEN THAT WOULDN'T HAPPEN ANYWAY)
15. sum of all chemical reactions in a cell
16. synthesis of cellular components
18. total energy
19. law of thermodynamics that says that energy cannot be created or destroyed
20. usually inorganic ion that temporarily binds to enzyme
21. RNA molecules with catalytic properties

1. this happens when nearly all active sites are occupied by substrate
2. a subset of potential energy that is due to the energy in molecular bonds
3. ability to promote change or do work
5. type of energy due to structure or location
6. a reaction is said to be this when delta G is negative, and it will occur without the input of additional energy
9. type of energy associated with movement
12. breakdown of cellular components
13. another word for spontaneous
17. unusable energy
22. protein catalysts in living cells
