Bioengenerics

Question 1

free energy

Answer 1

dependent on concentration of the reactants and products, independant of the pathway by which the reaction occurs and free energy changes are additive,

Question 2

ATP hydrolysys

Answer 2

chemical link between catabolism and anabolism and the energy currency of a living cell, its
hydrolysis is coupled to many endergonic reactions, Direct ATP hydrolysis can drive specific processes, but usually it is the transfer of a phosphoryl group to a substrate or an enzyme that couples the
breakdown of ATP to endergonic transformations of substrate

Question 3

free energy change

Answer 3

proportional to the difference in standard reduction potentia

Question 4

carriers of oxidation-reduction reactions

Answer 4

NAD, NADP, FAD, FMN

Question 5

how cells measure their energy status

Answer 5

measuring [AMP] - high [AMP] will trigger processes to raise [ATP]
and lower [AMP] (AMPK)
