Exam 2 Flashcards
Energy
Capacity to do work
-including synthesizing molecules, moving objects, and generating heat and light
Kinetic energy
movement
Potential energy
stored
chemical: released when bonds break
Gasoline + oxygen to
Carbon dioxide + water
Combustion releases
energy of movement, heat
Combustion
gasoline + oxygen to carbon dioxide + water
Glucose + oxygen to
carbon dioxide + water
Cellular respiration
glucose + oxygen to carbon dioxide + wayer
Cellular respiration releases
energy of cell activity, heat
carbon dioxide + water to
sugar(glucose) + oxygen
Photosynthesis
carbon dioxide + water to sugar + oxygen
Energy required by photosynthesis is
stored in products
Exergonic
reactions release energy
Endergonic
reactions store energy
ATP drives cellular work by
coupling exergonic and endergonic reactions
Reactions that use energy from ATP breakdown
-dehydration synthesis
-muscle contraction
-active transport of solutes across membrane
ATP to
ADP + P
Energy released in exergonic reactions is used to
regenerate ATP from ADP
Sucrose + water to
glucose + fructose
Adding heat could
speed up all reactions
Catalysts
speed up reactions by lowering energy requirement
-not used up in reaction
-don’t supply energy
Enzymes are
biological catalysts
Enzymes are made of
protein
Each enzymes had particular reactants called
substrates
-only acts on its own substrates
Low temps
high temps
-molecules move slowly so reactions are slower
/enzymes denature
Cells respond to internal environment in part by
adjusting enzyme levels
Many enzymes require
non protein helpers for reaction to proceed
NAD+ to
NADH + H+
Enzyme inhibitors
slow down reactions
Enzyme inhibitors can be
drugs, poisons
Autotrophs store energy within
chemicals(food)
Photosynthetic autotrophs store
light energy within chemicals such as glucose
Heterotrophs consume
food, burn it to use stored energy
Photosynthetic autotrophs need to use energy they
burn the food (glucose) they made
ADP turned into
ATP, stored in the last bond
Consumed foods energy is stored in
ATP
Need oxygen to burn food by
cellular respiration, makimg ATP
Fermentation
alternate process to make ATP
Glucose to ATP
releases electron from glucose
Electrons without energy transferred to
oxygen
When NAD+ carrie’s electrons it’s called
NADH
Aerobic pathway
aerobic (with O2, reactions in mitochondria that convert pyruvate to carbon dioxide makes lots of atp
in citric acids cycle( aka krebbs cycle), pyruvate is
converted to carbon dioxide
in citric acid cycle (krebbs cycle) electrons
stored on NADH
