and lose their 3D shape.
What pH do cytosolic enzymes operate best at? ✅neutral, around 7.2. (the pH of
human cells)
How can competitive inhibition be overcome? ✅increasing substrate concentration
What direction does actin spin when ATP is being produced? ✅Clockwise
What direction does actin spin when ATP is being hydrolyzed? ✅Counterclockwise
A reaction that has a positive ΔG is described as... ✅Endergonic
If products have less free energy than the reactants, meaning ΔG is negative, the
reaction is described as... ✅Exergonic
an exergonic reaction is... (spontaneous/not spontaneous) ✅Spontaneous
An endergonic reaction is... (spontaneous/not spontaneous) ✅Not spontaneous
Altering the three-dimensional structure of an enzyme might... ✅prevent the substrate
from binding the enzyme's active site.
