TOPIC 6= CELLULAR METABOLISM Flashcards
METABOLISM?
SUM OF ALL CHEM REACTIONS IN AN ORGANISM
ARISES FROM ORDERLY INTERACTION BETWEEN MOLECULES
CATABOLIC PATHWAY?
RELEASE ENERGY BY BREAKING COMPLEX INTO SMALLER MOLECULES
EX: CELLULAR RESPIRATION
ANABOLIC PATHWAY?
CONSUME ENERGY TO BUILD COMPLEX FROM SMALLER MOLECULES
EX: PROTEIN FROM AA
ENERGY? (3)
CAPACITY TO CAUSE CHANGE THAT EXISTS IN MANY FORMS, SOME THAT CAN PREFORM WORK
TYPES OF ENERGY?
KINETIC, THERMAL, POTENTIAL, CHEMICAL
1ST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS?
ENERGY CANNOT BE CREATED OR DESTROYED, ONLY CONVERTED TO OTHER FORMS. ENERGY IN UNIVERSE IS CONSTANT
2ND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS?
DURING A TRANSFORMATION SOME ENERGY IS LOST AS HEAT, EACH TRANSFORMATION INCREASES ENTROPY OF UNIVERSE
ENTROPY?
MEASURE OF MOLECULAR RANDOMNESS AND DISORDER
TRUE OR FALSE: HEAT IS A DISORDERED FORM OF ENERGY?
TRUE
SPONTANEOUS PROCESSES? (3)
OCCUR WITH NO ENERGY, CAN HAPPEN QUICKLY OR SLOW, INCREASE ENTROPY
FREE ENERGY?
ENERGY THAT CAN DO WORK WHEN TEMP AND PRESSURE ARE UNIFORM, SHOWS WHETHER REACTION IS SPONTANEOUS OR NOT
TRUE OR FALSE: DURING SPONTANEOUS CHANGE FREE ENERGY IS LESS THAN ZERO?
TRUE
EXERGONIC REACTION? (4)
SPONTANEOUS, NEGATIVE, NET RELEASE OF FE, FE LESS THAN ZERO
ENDOGONIC REACTION? (4)
ABSORBS ENERGY, NONSPONTANEOUS, FE GREATER THAN ZERO, POSITITVE
TRUE OR FALSE: METABOLISM IS NEVER AT EQUILIBRIUM?
TRUE
