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
