what is the definition of metabolism
all chemical reactions in a living organism
the definition of metabolic pathways: series of reactions that _______ complex molecules or ____ ________ complex molecules

what are the two types of metabolic pathways
catabolic pathways
anabolic pathways

hi pls look at this picture
what is the definition of energy
energy is the ability to do work
what is the definition of work
work is the ability to move molecules around
what are the two types of energy
kinetic energy and potential energy
what is the definition of kinetic energy
energy associated with motion
what is an example of kinetic energy, and define it
thermal energy - energy associated with movement of atoms
what is an example of potential energy, and define it
chemical energy - energy available for release in a chemical reaction
what is the definition of thermodynamics
the study of energy transformations in matter
what is the 1st law of thermodynamics
energy cannot be created or destroyed
energy however can be transformed or transferred
what is the 2nd law of thermodynamics
energy transformation increases the entropy of the university
during energy transformations, some energy is unusable and is often lost as heat
what is the definition of free energy
determined the likelihood of reactions in organisms
what does free energy determine
whether or not the reaction happens spontaneously
what does it mean when a reaction occurs spontaneously
it means it happened with no energy input
based on delta g, reactions can be classified into these two different categories
exergonic and endergonic reactions
what is the definition of exergonic reactions
exergonic reactions are reactions that release energy
give an example of an exergonic reactions
cellular respiration
in exergonic reactions, what is the value of delta G
the value of delta G is below 0
in exergonic reactions is the reaction spontaneous or not
in exergonic reactions, the reaction is spontaneous
what is the definition of endergonic reactions
endergonic reactions are reactions that absorb energy
what is an example of an endergonic reaction
photosynthesis
in an endergonic reaction what is the value of delta G
delta G is above 0
do endergonic reactions require energy
yes they do you fatso
are cells at equilibrium
cells are not at equilibrium
why are cells not at equilibrium
cells are not at equilibrium because they have a constant flow of materials in and out of the membrane
what three kinds of work do cells perform
mechanical
transport
chemical
describe the mechanical work a cell must perform and give examples
movement (beating cilia, contraction of muscle cells)
describe the transport work a cell must perform and give examples
pumping substances across membranes against spontaneous movement
describe the chemical work a cell must perform and give examples
synthesis of molecules (building polymers from monomers)
what molecule is this: organisms use as a source of energy to perform work
adenosine triphosphate
atp couples ___________ reactions to ______________ reactions to power cellular work
atp couples exergonic reactions to endergonic reactions to power cellular work
____________ process drives the ___________ process
exergonic process drives the endergonic process
how do organisms obtain energy
organisms obtain energy by ________ the bond between the ___ and __ phosphate in a ___________ reaction
organisms obtain energy by breaking the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate in a hydrolysis reaction
when breaking the bond of ATP what change occurs?
ATP → ADP
what is phosphorylation?
the released phosphate moves to another molecule to give energy
breaking the bonds of ATP increases _______, _____________ delta G
breaking the bonds of ATP increases entropy, decreasing delta G
how can ADP be regenerated to ATP
ADP can be regenerated to ATP via the ATP cycle
detail the ATP cycle
ATP and H2O reaction to make energy for cellular work, which results in ADP and P being the end products
ADP and P get energy from exergonic process to make ATP and H2O
what is definition of enzymes
macromolecules that catalyze reactions by lowering activation energy
are enzymes consumed in reactions
no
what are enzymes made of
amino acids
what do enzyme names end in
-ase
enzymes act on reactants known as __________
substrates
the area where substrates bind are called __________ _____
active sites
what is induced fit
enzymes change the shape of their active site to allow substrates to bind better
what metabolic pathway is shown in this picture
catabolic pathway
what metabolic pathway is shown in this picture
anabolic pathways
what are enzymes - like what macromolecule
protein
enzymes’ __ ______ can be affected by different factors
3D shape
what are three things that can impact the shape of enzymes
pH change
temperature
chemicals
shape change =
function change
what are optimal conditions for enzymes?
conditions of temperature and pH that allow them to function optimally
the rate of enzymatic activity ___________ with temperature up after a certain point
increases a
after a certain point of temperature is reached for enzymes, the enzyme will
denature
when an enzyme is outside its normal pH, what can happen
hydrogen bonds in the enzyme might break
what happens when the hydrogen bonds in the enzyme break due to a not-normal pH
the enzyme changes shape
what is an enzyme cofactor
a helper molecule or ion
enzymes need to function properly
helps enzyme carry out its chemical reaction
is an enzyme cofactor a protein or nonprotein molecule
non protein
what is a holoenzyme
