How do catalysts and inhibitors affect reaction rates? How is ∆G affected by enzymes? correct answers catalysts increase reaction rates; inhibitors decrease them. ∆G is not affected by enzymes Name 3 ways to determine if something has been oxidized or reduced. correct answers oxidation= gain of oxygen, loss of hydrogen, loss of electrons reduction=loss of oxygen, gain of hydrogen, gain of electrons Name cellular location and end products per glucose for the following: glycolysis, pyru...

Le Châtelier's Principle correct answers the equilibrium will favor products when the concentration of products is kept low. cytochrome c correct answers a heme protein that only cycles between a ferrous and ferric state during oxidative phosphorylation. Only single electron transfers are possible. oxidative phosphorylation correct answers the process in which ATP is formed as a result of the transfer of electrons from NADH or FADH2 to O2 by a series of electron carriers. This process, w...
