Weekly Update Week 6 - Enzymes and Energetics
Administrative Note: CPR
Your paper is to be uploaded by 11:55 pm. Please note you will have to finish the pre-test and tutorial before you can access the assignment. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!
When you first log into the site, you will use your Panther ID.
Do not use the initial zeros of your panther ID! If you keep the initial zeros, the system will say that you are not registered. Just put your Panther ID in again, this time without the zeros.
At present, the system is preventing you from doing the calibrations until the test submission time period is over. You will be able to perform calibrations starting tomorrow.
Weekly topic: Enzymes and Energetics.
This week we move into metabolism. Our first stop will be a review of thermodynamics, an introduction to enzyme kinetics, a look at ATP, and finally an introduction to enzymatics.
Learning Objectives:
- Be able to discuss the laws of thermodynamics as they relate to living systems.
- Be able to discuss chemical equilibrium as it relates to living systems.
- Be able to discuss the structure and function of ATP.
- Be able to disucss how enzymes, as catalytic agents, speed up reactions.
- Be able to describe how enzymes work.
- Be able to discuss the regulation of enzyme activity.
- Be able to discuss the importance of redox reactions to living systems.
