Energy Flashcards
Cell Requirements
- A way to encode/transmit info (DNA)
- Membrane separating inside from out
- ENERGY
ATP
TRIphosphate
contains NRG in CHEMICAL BONDS
In all polyers (lipids, DNA, carbohydrates…)
Phototrophs
Energy from sun photons vascular palnts cyanonobacteria CO2 are carbon source, make more complex moelcs from it
Autotrophs (Photo)
CO2 is carbon source, make more complex moelcs from it
Heterotrophs (Photo)
carbon from other organic compounds
not taking CO2 and making it more complex,
heliobacter
sulfer bacteria
get NRG from sunlight in molecs that let them make hydrogen ion gradeint, but it is not used to make CO2 more complex
Chemotrophs
Energy from chemical compounds
Autotrophs (C)
Live in harsh environments
Redox rxns
Most bacteria
Sulfer and magnesium e- transfer fixes carbon
Heterotrophs (C)
Humans!
Get carbon from eating other organic compounds
Autotrophs
self feeders, make own organic source carbon
Heterotrophs
“other feeders” rely on other organsms for organic sources of carbon
Metabolism
Building and breaking down of carbon sources to harness or releases energy
sum of reactions to harness or release energy
always happening!
Catabolism
Marcromolecues: broken down into subunits
release of energy
released enrgy can be coupled with ATP production (ADP+Pi)
Anabolism
Make larger units out of polymers
energy dependent
couple to reactions that USE ATP and break it down (ADP and Pi from ATP)
Kinetic energy
NRG of motion. (thermal, light, electric)
Potential energy
released when a change in structure or position occurs.
Stored energy tht is ready to use
What needs energy?
active transport!
thermal energy
molecules moving
light energy
movement of photons
Electrons in chemical energy
electron further from nucleus: Greater PE
movement to lower orbital: NRG release, kinetic NRG
High PE to low PE: more distant shell to closer shell
Covalent bonds
result of shared electrons
when electrons far from both nuclie, lots of PE in bond
closer= lower PE in bond
Longer polymer with lots of bonds means MORE PE
(More when electronegitivity)
ATP structure
Sugar: Ribose (OH GROUP!) connect to adenine base 3 phosphate groups attached (AMP, 1 phosphate) (ADP, 2 phosphates)
