Totality of an organism's chemical reactions
It begins with a specific molecule and ends with a product
Yes
They release energy by breaking down complex molecules into similar compounds
They consume energy to build complex molecules from simpler ones
Protein synthesis from amino acids
The study of how organisms manage their energy resources
Motion
kinetic energy associated with random movement of atoms or molecules
Energy that matter possesses because of its location or structure
Potential energy availabe released in a chemical reaction
Without energy input and happen quickly
energy that can do work when temp and pressure and uniform, such as in a living cell
release and spontaneous
absorbs, nonspontaneous
ATP
Cells manage energy resources by energy coupling, or the use of a exergonic process to drive an endergonic one
a ribose (sugar), adenine (nitrogenous base), and three phosphate groups
When the terminal phosphate bond is broken
Chemical agent that speeds up a reaction
Catalytic protein
Activatio Energy
By lowering the activation energy barrier
It is what an enzyme acts on
Enzyme-substrate complex
The region where the substrate binds to an enzyme
Brings chemical groups of the active site into positions that enhance their ability to catalyze the reaction
Through orienting substrates correctly, straining substrate bonds, providing a favourable microenvironment, covalently bonding to a substrate
Temperature and pH, and certain chemicals can influence the enzyme
It affects the shape, thus affecting the enzymes ability to function
Nonprotein enzyme helpers
An organic cofactor is alled a coenzyme
Inhibitors that bind to the active site
Bind to another part of the enzyme, leading to the enzyme changing shape
Toxins, poisons, pesticides, and antibodies
When the end product of a metabolic pathway shuts down the pahway
Prevents a cell from wasting chemical resources by synthesizing more product than what is needed
In the mitochondria
Exogonic
Oxygen
Oxygen
ATP
NAD+, becoming NADH
To the electron transport chain
Oxygen pulls electrons down the chain in an energy yielding tumble, the energy yielded is used to regenerate ATP
Glycolysis, The Citric Acid Cycle, and Oxidative phosphorylation
Breaks down glucose into two molcules of pyruvate
Two
Completes the breakdown of glucose
In the mitochondria
Oxidative phosphorylation
The smaller amount of ATP is formed in glycolysis and the citric acid cyclr
The splitting of sugar, breaking down glucose into 2 pyruvate molecules
In the cytoplasm
Energy Investment and Energy Payoff
Net increase of 2
Through coenzyme A
Acetyl CoA
Breaks down pyruvate to CO2
In the inner membrance of the mitochondrion (cristae)
The H+ gradient, emphasizing its capacity to do work
Glucose --> NADH --> ETC --> Proton-motive force --> ATP
32
The ETC
Alcohol and lactic acid fermentation
Ethanol, and releases CO2
Lactate, with no CO2 released
Carry out fermentation and cannot survive in the presence of oxygen
Can survuve using either fermentaino or cellular respiration
acetyl CoA
glycerol
Through feedback inhibition
