🗑
Phosphoralation   ADD a phosphate; turn ON; ACTIVATES a protein  
🗑
Dephosphoralation   DETATCH a phosphate; Turn OFF; Deactivate a protein  
🗑

🗑
Potential Energy   Greatest potential E is at top of a roller coaster  
🗑
Kinetic Energy   Released on the way down a roller coaster  
🗑
Exergonic reactions   Energy RELEASED during CHEMICAL reactions; Products at LOWER E than the substrates  
🗑
Endergonic reactions   Energy is UTILIZED during CHEMICAL reactions; Product has HIGHER E level than the subtrates  
🗑
Exergonic and Endergonic reactions can be coupled   Combining two amino acids to make a peptide; Products have higher E by coupling w/an exergonic rxn (ATP)  
🗑
Most reactions need an Activation Energy   Ex. Paper is held together by covalent bonds, if burned the ashes hold lower E. Released E as heat doesn't happen onits own b/c its stable and needs Activation E (reaching 450 degrees w/the help of a match) otherwise it will stay in its potential state.  
🗑
Enzymes   A+B+enzyme = C+D+enzyme; enzymes lower the Activation E of reactions to allow a rxn to happen that is aventatious for us; Reaction rates are variable  
🗑
Metabolism   catabolism, anabolism  
🗑
Catabolism   rxns PRODUCE E via breakdown of large biomolecules into their own building blocks  
🗑
Anabolism   rxns USE E to produce large biomolecules; combining large molecules to build larger ones  
🗑
How is metabolism measured?   Can measure heat released or produced and indirectly the amt of O2 being consumed in kCAls= E content in food= heat released by burning  
🗑
Control of Metabolism   Controlling enzyme concentrations, ,modulation of enzymatic activity, reversible rxns, isolation of enzymes, changing ratio of ATP:ADP  
🗑
Controlling enzyme concentrations   turning on/off w/ gene activity; most enzymatic rxns have one irriversible direction; some are reversible  
🗑
Reversible rxns using ONE enzyme for both directions   RARE  
🗑
Reversible rxn requiring TWO enzymes   ONLY LIVER can reverse a rxn  
🗑
Irreversible rxn lacks the enzyme for the reverse rxn   ALL CELLS i body can do this;  
🗑
Isolation of enzyme   seperate and control rxns Ex. lysosome breaks down stuff  
🗑
Shift ratio of ATP:ADP   Less E to slow down metabolism or increase E to increase metabolism  
🗑

🗑
ALL other systems   Can breakdown biomolecules for ATP  
🗑

🗑
Electron transport chain   in MITOCHONDRIA so requires O2 (same result in ATP as citric acid cycle -only when O2 is present)  
🗑
If no glucose...   take form storage; breakdown glycogen to glucose 6 phosphate then glycolysis, citric acid cycle, electron transport chain.  
🗑
Still no glucose?...make new glucose   in The LIVER after the glucose supply is all used up; generally, free amino acids are catalyzed to produce ATP; deamination then glycolosis or citric acid cycle  
🗑
deamination   ?
