Bio150 Chapter 8

Energy and Metabolism

QuestionAnswer
Where does all energy for life come from? The Sun
what is energy? The capacity to do work
what is kenetic energy? The energy in motion
What is potential energy? Energy of position
what is chemical energy? Energy that exsist in bonds
How do biologist measure energy? Kilojules (kj)
What is Thermodynamics? The study of energy
What are the two laws of thermodynamics? 1.) Energy can not be created nor destroyed- only changed 2.) some energy is given off as heat during energy conversions, resulting in more entropy
What is Entrophy? disorder
What is Metabolism? Chemical reactions that enable things to grow, repair, reproduce, and respond to stimuli
Metabolism is the________________. Sum total of all those chemical reacitons
What is Anabolism building up of larger molecules to smaller molecules (Amino Acids --> Proteins)
Catabolism breaking down of larger molecules into smaller molecules (proteins  amino acids)
Enthalpy Total energy of a system
Free Energy Energy available to do work
What are changes in energy represented by? Triangle symbol
What does Ethalpy equal? G + TS
ΔG ΔH - T ΔS
What are the two types of reactions in energy? Exergonic reaction Releases energy ΔG is negative Example - diffusion Endergonic reaction Produces energy ΔG is positive
What is Energy of a cell called? ATP
What are Enzymes? Proteins that catalyze chemical reactions
What do most enzyms end in? -aze
What are the three things that Enzymes do? Enzymes lower the activation energy of a reaction Enzymes work with a substrate forming the enzyme-substrate complex Enzymes are specific and have optimal conditions to work (temperature and pH)
What is an Allosteric Regulation? regulatory mechanism which controls enzyme function
What does Allosteric Regulations do? turn on and off an Enzyme
What is an allosteric Activator? stabilizes the active form of an enzyme
Allosteric inhibitor Stabilizes the inactive form of an enzyme
What are the two laws of thermodynamics? 1.) Energy can not be created nor destroyed, only changed 2.) some energy is lossed as heat during energy conversions, resulting in more entrophy
Why do we need Metabolism? to power our bodily functions
Anabolsim building up of larger molecules from smaller molecules (animo acids to proteins)
Catabolism breaking down of larger molecules into smaller molecules (proteins to amino acids)
What does ATP stand for? Adenosine Tri-Phospate
What is ATP? molecules that cekks use to store and transfer energy
what is the difference between sn allosteric activator and an allosteric inhibitor? activator - stabilizes the active form of the enzyme (turns on) inhibitor- stabilizes the inactive form of the enzyme (turns off)
What does thermodynamics tell us? Tells us what will and will not happen under given conditions but say nothing about the rate of these processes.
What is entrophy? Entophy is when energy is being extracted from the inside of an organism to their outer surroundings A lion eating starch and then extracting that energy to water and CO2 is an example of this.
What are metabolic pathways? when a molecule is turned into a produc. Based on how it is turned out, it can be anabolic or catabolic
Free Energy = Change in __________- temperature in __________ x Measurement of heat being ___________ from an organism to its surroundings (etholpy) 1.) total energy, kelvin, extracted
Exergonic reactions ______ energy and when ____ is negative. example _____. release energy, change G, diffusion
Endergonic energy happens when ___ is positive and ____ energy. change in G, produces
With the loss of water, ______ turns to ATP. WIth the gain of water, _______ turns to ADP ADP, ATP
What is the ATP cycle? is a turnstile through which energy passes during its transger from catabolic to anabolic pathways
Hoe do Enzymes speed up metabolic reactions? overcoming barriers
what is activation energy The amount of energy needed to pish the reactants over an energy barriers so that the downhill part can begin

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.
