Bioenergetics Flashcards
Enenrgy
capacity of cause specific physical or chemical changes
Chemoheterotroph
human
carbon from organic compounds
Bioenergetic
subset of thermodynamics
how the biological world gain and use energy
1 molecule of glucose can couple with – of ATP molecules
30
chemotrophs
energy from oxidizing mebolic fuel
how many oxidizing state for carbon
5
most oxidizing state of carbon
CO2
1st law of thermodynamics
total energy universe remain the same
2nd law
universe always tend to greater randomness
measure of randomness
Entropy
Delta entropy universe is
positive for every spontaneous reaction
Enthalpy
heat content of a system
Gibbs free energy
dG=dH-TdS
Spontaneous reaction
dG negative
Exergonic
release free energy
nonspontaneous reaction
dG positive
Endergonic
Use free energy
system at equilibrium
dG zero
no net flow
enthalpy and entropy changes are exactly balanced
dG =
dG(0) + 2.303 RTK(eq)
Equilibrium constant
Reaction product conc. to reactant conc.
one way in biological pathway, making a reaction more favourable
constantly using product
Homeostasis
Maintain a dynamic steady state far from equilibrium
Speed of reaction and dG has – relation
no
enzyme kinetic is based on
Activation energy
all cellular processes are catalized by
enzyme or riboenzyme
enzyme/riboenzyme properties
1- required in small amount
2- physiological temperature and pH
3- reusable
4- highly specific to their substrate
5- generate a specific product
6- they change the rate not dG
