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
