chp 3 BIO DAT Flashcards
laws of thermodynamics
energy can’t be destroyed or created
entropy (disorder) of the universe is always increasing and the combined change in entropy must be positive
entropy of a substance is absolute zero
metabolism
metabolic pathways that are happening in a given organism
2 types of metabolism
catabolic; break down of molecules for energy , entropy increases
anabolic ; process where energy is used to build larger molecules , entropy decreases
catabolic
ENERGY IS RELEASED
anabolic
ENERGY IS REQUIRED
mitochondria
organelle that produces ATP via cellular respiration
ATP ; adenosine triphosphate
ATP is a RNA nucleoside triphosphate
-adenine nitro base
-ribose sugar
-3 phos groups
currency for cells
ATP
bond breaking btw phosphate groups
via hydrolysis ( water is release )
reaction coupling
energy requiring reaction (endergonic) combined with energy releasing one (exergonic )
net neg Gibbs free energy (-)
aerobic cell resp
glycolysis -> pyruvate decarboxylation->Krebs cycle ->oxidative phosphorylation
glycolysis formula
glucose ->2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 pyruvate
glycolysis
takes place in the cytosol and doesn’t require oxygen ( glycolysis is both aerobic and anaerobic )
this process has a investment phase , needs 2 ATP to make 4 ATP ( net of 2 ATP)
substrate level phosphorylation
ATP produced by transferring a phosphate group to ADP from phosphorylated compound.
steps of glycolysis - 1
hexokinase uses 1 ATP to phosphorylate glucose into glucose 6 phosphate ,which cant leave the cell
