Energy and Metabolis

Chapter 6

QuestionAnswer
First Law of Thermodynamics "study of energy"
First Law of Thermodynamics 2 energy can not be created or destroyed: it can only be changed from one form --> heat is lost
Second Law of Thermodynamics states that disorder in the universe is continuously increasing
entropy measure of the disorder
What is Energy? the ability to do work
What is work? the ability to move and object
Bioenergentics how energy gets used and converted in living systems
metabolism refers to the total of all chemical reactions carried out by an organism
Anabolism reaction that uses energy to make bonds
catabolism reeaction tha gets energy when bonds are formed
Kenetic Energy energy in motion
potiential energy energy at rest
valence electrons the further away from the nucleus, the more energy
oxidation when a molecule losses an electron
oxidation 2 loss of energy
reduction when a molecule accepts electrons
reduction 2 gains of energy
calories heat changes (energy) is measured in this?
calorie amount of energy needed to raise 1 gram H2O 1*C
1000 cal= 1 kcal
Free Energy Energy that is avaible to do work
Free Energy G
Exergonic reactants ----^----> products
Endergonic reactants ----!----products ^
Exergoinc 2 energy released
endergonic 2 energy put in
catalyst such as enzyme helps reduce the amount of activation energy required to start a reacction
enzyme biological catalyst
enzyme 2 speeed up chamical reaction by reducing the amount of activation energy required
substrate the substance that will be catalyzed
active sites "pockets" "clefts" on the surface of a globular enzyme
active sites 2 spot where the substrate bonds
active sites 3 enzyme amino acid groups react with the bonds holding the substance together and weaken it
Certain factors that influence the shape of an enzyme temperature, pH, salt concentration, binding of regulatory molecules
Temperature it is true that as temp increases --- so does rate of chemical reactions
Temp 2 however, enzymes can only work in narrow tmep ranges
to cold enzyme not flexible
to hot enzyme too flexible ans can not maintain shape
temperature optimum the narrow range in which enzymes work (35* to 40*)
pH enzyme work efficiently at certain p H levels
pH 2 it is because some enzymes are sensitive to H+ ions and can dissociate in their presence ex: pepsin
inhibitor binds to an enzyme changes its shape decreases its activity
competitive inhibitor same binding site
noncompetitive distant site from active site
coenzymes non-protein, organic, help enzymes work
NAD+ Nicotinamide aderine dinucleotide
ATP Adosine triphote
ATP 2 nucleic

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
