Chapter 8 Flashcards
Metabolism
sum of total of all biochem occurring in a cell such as metabolic pathways + enzymes
Ezymes in groups =
metabolic pathways
Catabolic Reaction
Breaks down into smaller components
Example of catabolic reaction:
c6h1206 + 6o2 —> 6Co2 + 6H2O + Energy + ATP
Energy from catabolic reaction amount
686Kcal
Anabolic Reaction
Builds/ synthisizes such as photosynthesis
3 Kinds of Energy
Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical
Thermodynamics 1st Law
Energy cannont be created nor destroyed, only changes FORMS
Thermodynamics 2nd Law _______
Entropy ; universe is moving towards a state of disorder
Thermodynamics
Study of heat transfer
Free Energy/ Delta G (2)
Endergonic vs Exergonic
Endergonic Reactions
require energy
Exergonic Reactions
release free energy
Living things are energy
transformers
Exergonic vs Endergonic examples
Cellular resp VS photosynthesis
ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate
ATP is
energy currency
____ types of ATP Work
3
1st Step of ATP work explained
ATP in presence of WATER is hydrolyzed.
3 phosphates, highly charged to sugar ( ribose, extra OXY on #2 carbon) att to base ( adenine).
ATP + H2O —> ADP (High energy phosphate) + Pi + 7.3kcals
2nd Step of ATP Work explained
PHOSPHORLATION ; high energy phosphate attaches to TARGET.
7.3 KCALS is NOW uses for work
7.2 kcals released
3rd Step of ATP Work explained
ATP Cycle ( restores/regenerates ATP)
ADP + Pi –> ATP + H2O
ATP is a _____ reaction
Endergonic reaction ; requring energy from cellular resp/fermentation
ATP _____ be stored
CAN’T
Enzymes end with
ASE
Enzymes def
bio catalyst proteins that speed up rate of an reaction
The speeding up of a reaction causes a
lower activation energy needed ( barrier)
How do enzymes lower act. energy
breaking covalent bonds
enzymes offer ___
more control
Components of enzyme activity include ( 5)
Active sites; substrtate, induced fit, saturation and enzyme substrate complex
___ most important environment factors determining enzyme activity
2; temp and PH
examples of temp and ph enzyme activity
fever and yellowstone
Enzyme cofactors vs adjuncts
adjuntcs are inorganic ( minerals), cofactors are organic ( vitamins)
2 Enzyme inhibitors
Competiive vs non-competitive
Competitive Inhibitor examples
DDT ; penecilin
Non-comp inhibitator example
nerve gas, cyanide, mercury
Non competitive does what to an active site?
binds AWAY from active site, changes shape of active site
DDT made by
Mueller
Rachel Carson
hurting wildlife ; “ SILENT SPRINGS”
