Endergonic Reactions
|
1. Energy input required
a. product has more energy than starting substances |
|
Exergonic Reactions
|
1. energy is released
a. products have less energy than starting substances |
|
ATP
|
cells earn ATP in exergonic reactions
|
|
Electron Transfers
|
1. arrangement of enzymes, coenzymes, at cell membrane
|
|
Concentration Gradienst
|
1. means the number of molecules or ions in one region is different than the # in another region
2. when other forces are not there , the substance moves from a region where it is more concentration to one with less concentration "down gradient" |
|
Diffusion
|
the net movement of like molecules or ions down a concentration gradient
|
|
Factors influencingenzyme activity
|
1. cofactors
a. coenzymes b. metal ions |
|
Transport PRoteins
|
1. span the lipid bulayer
2. change shape when they interact with a solute 4. play roles in active and passive transport |
|
Passive transport
|
flow of soluted DOWn concentration gradient w. no energy input
|
|
Active transport
|
against concentration gradient with energy (ATP)
|
|
Osmosis
|
1. diffusion of water molecules across a semipermiable membrane
2. direction of net flow is determined by water concentration gradient 3. side w. most solute molecules has lowest water concentration |
|
tonicity
|
1. relative solute concentration of 2 fluids
a. hypertonic-having more solutes b. isotonic-having same amount of solutes c. hypotonic-having fewer solutes |
