Chapter 6- PowerPoint Lectures Flashcards
What is the capacity to do work?
energy
What are the two types of energy?
kinetic and potential
Energy of motion?
kinetic energy
stored energy?
potential energy
In a chemical reaction where is the energy transfered?
between reactants and products, and surroundings
What is the energy released or absorbed during the chemical reaction called?
energy of formation
What are the three types of systems?
isolated, closed, and open
All living organisms are what type of systems?
open
Which system doesn’t exchange material or energy with its surroundings?
iosolated
Which system exchanges only energy with its system? —doesn’t exchange matter
closed
Which system exchanges energy and matter with its surroundings?
open
What’s the first law of thermodynamics?
energy can be transformed from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed
What is the second law of thermodynamics?
entropy always increases
What is entropy?
disorder
What are spontaneous reactions?
reaction that doesn’t need input of energy
What two factors do you need to consider to determine if a reaction is spontanous?
change in energy content of a system and change in entropy
Reaction that have less energy in the products than the reactant tend to be?
spontaneous
reactions that absorb energy?
endothermic
Gibb’s free energy equation?
delta g = delta H- (T delta S)
In spontaneous reaction delta G is?
negative
What is delta G equal to in equilibrium?
0
What is the symbol for a reversible reaction?
double arrow
Equilibrium?
state of balance between opposing factors pushing the reaction in either direction
When do you use the terms exothermic and endo thermic?
when refering to heat
When do you use the terms exergonic and endergonic?
when referring to delta G
When do you use the terms exothermic and endothermic?
when referring to heat
Which reactions releases free energy and delta G is negative?
exergonic reactions
Which reactions must gain free energy from the surrounding to form products. also delta G is positive?
endergonic reactions
What type of reaction has more free energy in the reactants than products?
exergonic reactions
What type of reaction has more free energy in the products than reactants?
endergonic reactions
What does the graph look like for a exergonic reactions?
downward sloping hill
What does the graph look like for a endergonic reactions?
upward sloping hill
Is endergonic or exergonic reactions spontaneous?
exergonic
What are the two types of metabolic pathways?
catabolic and anabolic
What is a metabolic pathway?
series of reactions, where products of one reaciton are used as the reactant in the next reaction
In a catabolic pathway is energy released?
yes
Which metabolic pathway breaks down complex molecules to simpler compounds?
catabolic
What is the overall delta G for a catabolic pathway?
negative
What can an anabolic reaction also be called?
biosynthetic reaction
Where is energy stored in ATP
triphosphate group
what can ADP be hydrolyzed to?
AMP
what can ADP be hydrolyzed to?
AMP
What is the structure of ATP?
adenine, ribose, 3 phosphate
What is the structure of ADP?
adenine, ribose, 2 phosphate
What is the structure of AMP?
adenine, ribose, 1 phosphate
What is energy coupling?
when ATP is hydrolyzed
What is adding a phosphate group called?
phophorylation
What is the main energy component in the cell?
ATP
How is ATP continually synthesized?
ATP/ADP cycle
How many ATP are hydrolyzed and resynthesizes each second in a cell?
10 million
How does the structure of the ATP molecule store and release energy?
stored in the terminal phosphate bond, release when it is broken
How are coupled reactions important to cell function?
cells have both spontaneous and non-spontaneous reactions, need a source of energy for the non-spontaneous reactions
How are coupled reactions important to cell function?
cells have both spontaneous and non-spontaneous reactions, need a source of energy for the non-spontaneous reactions
Does the total amount of energy in the universe change in entropy?
no
