No, because if the Gibbs free energy is unchanging within a closed system,
nothing will happen. In an open system where energy/resources enter and
exit, it can be at equilibrium if the amount entering is the same as the amount
leaving.
List and give an example of the three main kinds of cellular work done by
ATP.
Chemical- synthesizes polymers from monomers
Transport- moving substances across membranes
Mechanical- cilia movement, contraction of muscles, chromosome movement
during cell reproduction

Label the diagram below and indicate how cellular work is done by ATP.
Define phosphorylated.
When the phosphate group of an ATP is transferred to another molecule to
couple reactions, that recipient molecule is called phosphorylated.

In your own works, explained the concept of coupled reactions and ATP
doing work.
ATP hydrolysis reaction releases energy that other parts of the cell can
harness to perform work. Coupled reactions occur when exergonic reactions
are used to drive endergonic ones.

Competitive inhibitors are similarly structured to the substrate and occupy the active
site, making the enzyme unable to work. Noncompetitive inhibitors work by binding
to a part of the enzyme other than the active site, thereby changing the enzymes
shape slightly, and making it less able to efficiently catalyze the reaction.
3 What is allosteric regulation and how does assist in the regulation of metabolism?
When a proteins function at one part is affected by the binding of another
molecule to another part of the protein. Noncompetitive inhibitors are a type
4 What is cooperativity?
When an enzyme has more than one subunit, an dthe induced fit shape
change from one substrate facilitates the other subunits work (like making it
a more favorable shape)
After many reactions, the end product binds to the first enzyme inhibiting it
and keeping the chain from repeating any more.
