Chapter 2 Energy Production Flashcards
Energy is what?
Capacity to preform work
Energy transfer is what?
Production of ATP
How is energy able to be used?
In order for energy to be used ATP must have a phosphate group break off, that phosphate being broken off is energy being released. ATP then turns to ADP +P
what is adenosine?
- Adenosine is a neclecic acid and ribose together which RNA.
what is cellular respiration?
- The process in which cells transfer energy from food to ATP. (requires oxygen)
what is the formula for glucose and cellular respiration?
(G) C6 H12 O6 + 6CO2 = (CR) 6CO2 +6H2O + ENERGY/ATP
what is potential and kinetic energy?
pot.
- store energy
kin.
- energy in motion
what are the types of work in the body? And what is an example of each
- mechanical work
walking, muscle contraction - chemical work
digestion (reactions/ breakdowns)
-transport work
circulatory system, transformation of cellular respiration that does the work.
define:
1. anabolism
2. catabolic
3. exergonic reactions
4. endergonic reactions
5. reduction
6. oxidation
- build up (often times hormones)
- breakdown (often involves hydrolysis. Ex. glycogen & adrenolen)
- chemical process that release energy
- chemical process that store/absorbs energy
- gain of protron (e- or H+)
- loss of protron
what is the difference between saturated and unsaturated, in relationship to glucose?
saturated all the carbons and hydrogens have a partner that they match with. with unsaturated not all the hydrogens have a carbon to attach to, therefore the body is able to break unsaturated down faster and easier.
what 2 types of energy occurs, when the body cannot expenditure all the chemical energy? or total energy expenditure is represented by _____ and _____?
- mechanical energy
- heat energy (60% of energy released as heat)
what are 2 factors that affect bioenergetics?
- enzymes
- coenzymes
what are enzymes and how do they work?
- enzymes are proteins.
- enzymes are catalase (enzyme breakdown)
+ enzymes are specific, that require a specific substrate. the enzymes active site becomes available for attachment of the substrate. once the substrate fits in, hydrolysis occurs where the substrate is separated into its two products, and those 2 products are spit out.
_____ breaks down protein
1. what are 2 types of enzymes
2. what is it called when a enzyme changes shape
- pepsin enzyme
1. pepsin
1. salivary amylase
2. denatured
how do co-factor enzymes work?
- cofactor enzymes are helper molecules that allow the active site to become open.
- they also use contain carbon in order to work.
