chem ch 21 Flashcards
energy neither
created nor destroyed
need of energy is to do…
mechanical work, cells need energy for their work (which is moving molecule or ions across the cell membrane)
in humans, energy is released from..
food
plants use…
co2 and water + sunlight to make food = C6H12O6 (glucose) - potential energy
we need energy to…
do work and maintain the body temperature
in order for humans to use energy…
the energy should have some requirements
requirements for energy (energy stored in heat should be released gradually when needed in different, the SHRGD)
1) energy must be released from food gradually
2) energy must be stored in accessible form, like gylcogen
3) to maintain body temp, energy must be released as heat
4) when we need different forms of energy, rather than heat, to be available to do biochemical reactions that are not favorable
5) energy should be released when and where it’s needed
A —–B
endothermic releases E
and exothermic absorbs E
delta H
change in enthalpy (heat) - energy of the product is lower than energy of reactant - means the change is negative for favorable reaction
delta S
change in entropy - means more disorder. it should be positive for favorable reactions
delta G (g is favorable)
gibbs, free energy. favorable reaction. free energy should be negative.
the greater the amount of free energy, the greater the…
reaction proceeds towards forming reactant (speeds it up)
endergonic reaction
reactions that need the energy input from any external sources
exergonic reaction
when the reaction is releasing energy - change is negative
photosynthesis is endergonic or exergonic?
endergonic
oxidation is endergonic or exergonic?
exergonic
in living systems, reactions are following this principle (just pathways)
in the series of chemical reactions (called pathways), energy which is stored in product of an endergonic reaction, should be released in exergonic reactions
pathways (in the middle of the path)
in living systems. A series of biochemical reactions that are connected by intermediates at which the product of one reaction is the reactant of the following reaction, and so on.
pathways always use..(everyone needs them)
enzymes to complete reaction
glucose-6-phosphate
phosphate on the 6th carbon (on top)
glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate is endergonic or exergonic?
endergonic - it’s gained energy stores energy in chemical bonds
replication of DNA takes place in…
nucleus
protein synthesis is where?
ribosomes
golgi - synthesis of…(golgi likes big macs)
synthesis of macromolecules
lysosome
break down unwanted molecules
cristae
where ATP production is happening
mitochondrial matrix purpose
The space surrounded by the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. folding is cristae
mitochondria have how many layers?
2 - outer and inner.
ATP
adenosine triphosphate - the only important energy carrier
the number of mitochondria is greatest where? (maybe mitochondria there - MEHB)
eyes, brain, heart and muscles
metabolism
the set of chemical reactions that take place in an organism. metabolic pathways
types of metabolic pathways (the shape - you know this)
1) linear pathway
2) cyclic pathway
3) spiral sequence
linear pathway (the line from A to D)
the product of one is the reactant of next reactant. Final product through a series of intermediate molecules
enzyme #1, #2, #3
A - B - C - D
cyclic pathway
a series of reactions that reproduce one of the reactants (ie citric acid cycle)
A - B (A becomes B, B becomes C, C becomes D)
C - D
spiral sequence
the SAME set of enzymes are progressively used to break down or make a molecule. A becomes B, B becomes C, etc. in a spiral pattern
food can be oxidized into..(not glucose)
carbon dioxide, water, and energy (heat and different than heat)
energy production (aka metabolism) from food - stages (DACE for energy)
1) digestion
2) acetyl coenzyme A production
3) citric acid cycle
4) electron transfer and ATP production
2 types of metabolic reactions
anabolism and catabolism
catabolism
exergonic
anabolism
endergonic
digestion
happening in mouth, with help of saliva. can happen in stomach or small intestine. large molecule is converted to smaller - ie carbohydrates or proteins or lipids.
carbohydrate can be converted to..
glucose
protein converted to…
amino acid
lipids broken down to…
glycerol and fatty acids
stage 2: acteyl CoA production (type of bond)
bond between acetyl group and coenzyme A. bond is sulfide bond, high energy bond. 2C molecule.
acteyl CoA is a product of…(CoA is so general)
all different classes of food that
O
||
carries CH3-C group (acetyl group) into citric acid cycle
stage 3 - citric acid cycle (3 is not your enemy) AND where it takes place
happening in the matrix, which acetyl group is oxidized to CO2 and energy, that we exhale later
energy from citric acid is stored in…
chemical bonds of reduced enzymes (NADH) and FADH2 and some as ATP
stage 4) ATP production (atp is the fad)
NADH and FADH2, which takes place at the inner surface of inner membrane of mitochondria.
the electrons from the reduced NADH and FADH2 will join..
the electron transfer chain and ATP production
at the end of ATP production and electron transfer…
the electrons and H+ ions from all of those coenzymes producing ATP and O2 we inhale and H+ will form water
ADP
adenosine diphosphate (1 less phosphate than ATP)
hydrolysis of ATP - just think of the rocket
one phosphate is removed and that releases energy
reverse reaction - ADP
ADP converted to ATP
ADP more or less energy than ATP?
less
adding phosphate in any reaction is called…
phosphorylation
