C. Metabolism Control: Concept 8.5
In an enzymatic pathway, A, B, C, and D are chemical compounds and 1, 2, and 3 are enzymes that catalyze the designated reactions in a Shoe Factory:
1 2 3 A ------------- B --------------- C --------------- D leather shoe parts shoes packed shoes Now shoe sales are dropping and backpack sales are increasing. As a result, the manager of the factory decides to switch production from shoes to backpacks. Where should the shoe-making process be shut down: step 1, 2, or 3?
Homework:
1. Manage your class notes.
Pay special attention to: Learning to know and use new vocabulary words.
Examples of “themes” from day 1, such as emergent properties, energy, and structure/function, plus protein structure.
2. Use Chapter 8 Optional Review in Mastering Biology before noon Friday (test day).
3. Prepare for the next class. Skim the next assigned chapter. Complete the “Before class” section
