Organisms are open systems
9
First law of thermodynamics
Energy of universe is constant.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred and transformed
Principle of conservation of energy
10
Second law of thermodynamics
During energy transfer, some are not used but lost as heat.
Every energy transfer increase entropy (total disorder) of the universe
11

what its called when enzyme binds to substrate
21
Induced fit
Theory that enzyme adopts shape to "hug around" substrate
22
Competitive inhibitors
Binds to enzyme instead of the substrate to block it
23
Noncompetitive inhibitor
Doesn't block substrate, attaches at other site and block enzyme from doing its job
24
Allosteric Regulation
When regulatory molecule bind to one point of protein. But it effect protein function at another side

Binding of activator stabilize active form of enzyme
Binding of inhibitor stabilize inactive form
25
Cooperativity
Form of allosteric regulation that amplify enzyme activity. Binding by substrate to one active site stabilize favorable changes in other subunits.

33
Nuclear envelope
Encloses nucleus, separate it from cytoplasm
Pores that regulate what can/cannot enter
34
