energy neither
created nor destroyed
need of energy is to do…
mechanical work, cells need energy for their work (which is moving molecule or ions across the cell membrane)
in humans, energy is released from..
food
plants use…
co2 and water + sunlight to make food = C6H12O6 (glucose) - potential energy
we need energy to…
do work and maintain the body temperature
in order for humans to use energy…
the energy should have some requirements
requirements for energy (energy stored in heat should be released gradually when needed in different, the SHRGD)
1) energy must be released from food gradually
2) energy must be stored in accessible form, like gylcogen
3) to maintain body temp, energy must be released as heat
4) when we need different forms of energy, rather than heat, to be available to do biochemical reactions that are not favorable
5) energy should be released when and where it’s needed
A —–B
endothermic releases E
and exothermic absorbs E
delta H
change in enthalpy (heat) - energy of the product is lower than energy of reactant - means the change is negative for favorable reaction
delta S
change in entropy - means more disorder. it should be positive for favorable reactions
delta G (g is favorable)
gibbs, free energy. favorable reaction. free energy should be negative.
the greater the amount of free energy, the greater the…
reaction proceeds towards forming reactant (speeds it up)
endergonic reaction
reactions that need the energy input from any external sources
exergonic reaction
when the reaction is releasing energy - change is negative
photosynthesis is endergonic or exergonic?
endergonic
oxidation is endergonic or exergonic?
exergonic
in living systems, reactions are following this principle (just pathways)
in the series of chemical reactions (called pathways), energy which is stored in product of an endergonic reaction, should be released in exergonic reactions
pathways (in the middle of the path)
in living systems. A series of biochemical reactions that are connected by intermediates at which the product of one reaction is the reactant of the following reaction, and so on.
pathways always use..(everyone needs them)
enzymes to complete reaction
glucose-6-phosphate
phosphate on the 6th carbon (on top)
glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate is endergonic or exergonic?
endergonic - it’s gained energy stores energy in chemical bonds
replication of DNA takes place in…
nucleus
protein synthesis is where?
ribosomes
golgi - synthesis of…(golgi likes big macs)
synthesis of macromolecules
