Q

Free energy

A

Energy available to do work or break and form other chemical bonds

Denoted as the symbol G (Gibbs free energy)

21
Q

Enthalpy

A

Energy contained in a molecules chemical bonds

22
Q

G = H - (TS)

What does each letter represent?

A

G = Free energy

H = Enthalpy

T= temperature

S= entropy

23
Q

What creates changes in free energy: G= H-(TS) ?

A

Chemical reactions

24
Q

A) Reduces
B) Increases

1) Chemical bonding _________ disorder.
2) Heat ________ disorder.

25
G = H - (TS) When is G positive?
When products contain more free energy than reactants Energy is supplied
26
G = H- (TS) When is G negative?
When reactants contain more free energy than products Energy is released
27
Endergonic reaction
G= H-(TS) G is positive (products of the reaction contains more free energy than reactants) Inward energy
28
Exergonic reaction
G=H-(TS) G is negative (reactants of the reaction contain more free energy than the products) Outward energy
29
The transfer of energy in chemical reactions can be described as either __________ or _____________
Endergonic (inward) Exergonic (outward)
30
Most reactions require _______ to get started
Energy
31
Activation energy
Extra energy needed to get a reaction initiated or started Destabilizes chemical bonds Used in endergonic and exergonic reactions Large amounts of activation energy can slow down reactions
32
Catalyst
Substance that lowers activation energy Does not alter proportion of reactant
33
The chief energy "currency" of cells, powers almost every energy requiring process in cells.
ATP
34
Describe ATP structure :
Adenine Ribose (5-carbon sugar) 3 phosphates
35
Where does ATP store energy?
Bonds between phosphates
36
Describe Phosphates :
Highly negative Repel each other (phosphates) Require a lot of energy to keep phosphates bound to each other Releases a lot of energy when bond between phosphates is broken
37
When the bond between phosphates is broken ATP converts to __________, therefore energy has been ___________ (T/F) This reaction is not reversible?
ADP + P(i) Released False. Reaction is reservable.
38
What makes ATP an effective energy donor?
Instability
39
Is ATP a good long term energy storage molecule?
No. It is unstable (instability)
40
What fuels the production of ATP from ADP + Pi?
The energy released from an exergonic reaction
41
ATP hydrolysis
The energy released when ATP is broken down to ADP Fuels endergonic reactions
42
Enzymes
Molecules that catalyze reactions in living cells Most are proteins Lower activation energy required for reaction not changes or consumed by the reaction Interact with substrates
43
What enables an enzyme to stabilize a temporary association between substrates
Unique 3- dimensional shape
44
Substrate
Molecule that will undergo a reaction
45
Active site
Region of the enzyme that binds to the substrate
46
Binding of an enzyme to a substrate causes the enzyme to
Change shape= producing a better induced fit between the molecules
47
Bringing 2 substrates together in the correct orientation causes an enzyme to
Lower its activation energy required for new bonds to form
48
T/F Not all enzymes are proteins.
True
49
Ribozymes
RNA with enzymatic abilities.
