enthalpy
total energy in a molecule, cause of a molecules pressure and volume
ΔH is negative
products have less potential energy, heat is released
ΔH is positive
products have more potential energy, heat is absorbed
entropy
amount of disorder (larger=more disordered)
ΔS is negative
products more ordered than reactants (A+B=AB)
ΔS is positive
products more disordered than reactants (AB=A+B)
reaction is always spontaneous
enthalpy decreases and entropy increases
reaction is always nonspontaneous
enthalpy increases and entropy decreases
depends on exact values and temperature
enthalpy increases and entropy increases
depends on exact values and temperature
enthalpy decreases and entropy decreases
exergonic reaction
releases energy (oxidation)
endergonic reaction
requires energy (reduction)
energetic coupling
chemical energy released from one reaction to drive another
reduction reaction
gain of one or more electrons
oxidation reaction
loss of one or more electrons
oxidized molecule
loses a proton
reduced molecule
gains a proton
enzymes
lower the activation energy barrier
Enzyme regulation
temperature, pH, protein cleavage, phosphorylation
competitive inhibition
inhibitor blocks substrate from going into active site
allosteric inhibition
inhibitor goes into different active site and changes the active site for the substrate
allosteric regulation
regulatory molecule binds to separate spot to open active site for the substrate
cellular respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
cellular respiration oxidation
C6H12O6 --> 6CO2
cellular respiration reduction

Glycolysis occurs in the
cytoplasm
pyruvate processing input
2 pyruvate, 2 NAD+, 2 CoA
pyruvate processing output
2 CO2, 2 NADH, 2 Acetyl CoA
pyruvate processing occurs in the
mitochondrial matrix or cytoplasm of prokaryotes
citric acid cycle input

citric acid cycle output
4 CO2, 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 CoA
citric acid cycle occurs in
mitochondrial matrix or cytoplasm of prokaryotes
oxidative phosphorylation input

oxidative phosphorylation output
2 FAD, 10 NAD+, 6 H2O, 25-32 ATP
oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the
inner mitochondrial membrane or plasma membrane of prokaryotes
Electron Transport Chain occurs in the
inner mitochondrial membrane called cristae
regulating the activity of phosphofructokinase
glycolysis can be regulated by
Phosphofructokinase (PFK) allosteric inhibitor
ATP
PFK affinity for ATP
active site has higher affinity for ATP than allosteric site
feedback inhibition
regulates glycolysis by conserving glucose when ATP is high
fermentation
the final electron acceptor is absent and only produces 2 ATP
Photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O + light --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
3 basic types of photosynthetic organisms
plants, photosynthetic protists, photosynthetic bacteria
photosystem II
capture sunlight, split water, O2 byproduct
photosystem I
convert CO2 into glucose
photosystem
a cluster of a few hundred pigment molecules that function as a light-gathering antenna
photosystem I and II
located in the thylakoid membrane
light reaction input
light, H2O, ADP, NADP+
light reaction output
O2, NADPH, ATP
three phases of the calvin cycle
fixation, reduction, regeneration
calvin cycle input

calvin cycle output
ADP, NADP+, glucose from G3P
rubisco
The most abundant protein on earth. Performs Carbon Fixation in the Calvin Cycle.
stroma
where the calvin cycle takes place in eukaryotic photosynthesis
thylakoid membrane
photosystem I and II, ETC, and ATP synthase location in eukaryotic photosynthesis
thylakoid lumen
where protons accumulate in eukaryotic photosynthesis
cytoplasm
where glycolysis occurs in eukaryotic cellular respiration
mitochondrial matrix

cellular replication result
2 identical daughter cells
cellular reproduction purpose
asexual reproduction, production of new cells
cell cycle phases
interphase (G1, S phase, G2), and mitotic (M) phase
when does DNA replicate
S phase
phases of mitosis
prophase/prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
interphase
after chromosome replication, each one has 2 sister chromatids
prophase/prometaphase
chromosomes condense, spindle apparatus forms, nuclear envelope breaks down, and microtubules connect to kinetochores
metaphase
chromosomes migrate to middle
anaphase
sister chromatids separate into daughter chromosomes and are pulled apart
telophase
nuclear envelope reforms and chromosomes decondense
cytokinesis
actin myosin ring causes plasma membrane to pinch inwards, cytoplasm divides, and two daughter cells form
only in animal cell cytokinesis
cleavage furrow, actin, and myosin
cell plate
microtubules direct vesicles to the center to divide the cell into two plant cells
binary fission step 1
DNA is copied and protein filaments attach
binary fission step 2
DNA copies separated, ring of proteins forms
binary fission step 3
ring of protein draws in membrane, then separates
cancer is caused by cells that
divide in an uncontrolled fashion, invade nearby tissues, and spread to other sites in the body (metastasis)
divide in uncontrolled fashion
mutated tumor suppressor gene which produces a defective nonfunctioning protein, leading to excessive cell division
p53 - tumor suppressor gene
