Chapter 13: Bioenergetics and Reactions Flashcards
Catabolism
Energy producing, breakdown
Anabolism
Energy consuming, biosynthetic
Delta G’0
Biochemical standard state= pH 7, [H2O] = 55M
Delta G
determines the direction in cells
Hydrolysis reactions
Tends to be strongly favorable (spontaneous), water is consumed
Isomerization reactions
Have smaller free energy changes
True or False:
Molecular oxygen takes one electron at a time
True
A rare homolytic reaction
Vitamin B12
Phosphoryl transfer
Used to activate metabolites or for signal transduction
High energy compounds. Molecules that carry energy state higher than ATP. Transfer their phosphate to ADP to make ATP.
1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate,
Phosphoenolpyruvate and Phosphocreatin
True or False:
Hydrolysis of thioesters is strongly favorable
True
ATP hydrolysis has a positive or negative delta G?
Negative delta G
True or False:
ADP has a greater entropy and solvation than ATP
True
Reduction potential (E)
Affinity for electrons; higher E, higher affinity
For negative delta G, is a positive or negative delta E needed?
Positive delta E
