  • Front
  • Back
mass?
anything that has matter and takes up space.
Energy
capacity to do work
kilojoules?

kilocalories?
kiljoules in a unit of work....kilocalories is heat energy unit
kinetic energy
energy in motion
potential energy
capactiy to do work as a result of position or state
thermodynamics
study of energy and its transformations.
closed system

open system
does not exchange energy with its surrounding

does exchange energy with its surrounding
1st law of thermodynamics
Energy can not be created or destroyed, but can be transfered or converted from one form to another
second law of thermodynamcis
When energy is converted from one form to another, some energy left avablie to do work is converted into heat that dispereses into the surroundings.
heat
kinetic energy of randomly moving particles
meabolism
sum of al chemical acivities taking place in an organism
anabolism
includes the various pathways in which complex molecules are synthesized from simpler substances..ex: linking amino acids to form protein
Catabolism
includes the pathways in which larger molecles are broken down into smaller ones.....ex degradiation of starch to form moosaccharides
enthalphy (H)
potential energy of the system
free energy (G)
amount of energy avaalible to do work under the conditions of a biochemical reaction
entropy
amount of thermal energy no availbe to do work
exergonic reaction
a reaction that releases energy and is said to be a spontaneous or a 'Downhill" reaction from higher to lower free energey
endergonic reaction
is a reaction in which there is a gain of free energy
meabolism
sum of al chemical acivities taking place in an organism
concentraion gradient
when there is a region with a high and low concentration....cells must expand enery to do this
anabolism
includes the various pathways in which complex molecules are synthesized from simpler substances..ex: linking amino acids to form protein

coupled reactions
thermodymnically favorable exergonic reaction tat provides the energy required to drive the thermdynamicaly unfavorable endergonic reaction
adensosine triphospate (ATP)
holds readily avablie energy for very short periods
adenosine diphospate (ADP)
chemical created when the terminal phospate is removed from ATP
phosphorylation reaction
one in whicg a phospate group is transferred to some other compound
oxidation
chemical process in which a substance loses electrons
reduction
substace gains electrons
redox reactions
when oxdiation and reduction reactions happen at same time
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)

NADH
NAD is an acceptor molecule, when reduced sotres large amounts of free eneergy... becomes reduced when combined with hydrogen
NADP

Nadph

Es complex
when this break up product is realeased
active sites
regions which substre binds to from Es complex
induced fit
the binding of the substrate to the enzyme molecule causes a change
cofactor
chemicAL componet in enzyme.
coenzyme
nonpolypeptide compound that binds to the apoenyzme and erves as a cofactor
coenzyme a
is involved in the tranfer groups dervied from organic acid
metabolic pathway
serious of reactions
feedback inhibiton
type of enzyme regulation in which the formulation of a product inhibits an earlier reaction in the sequence
allosteric site
receptor site of enzymes
allosteric regulators
