Document Summary

9. 1 nature of chemical energy and redox reactions. Potential energy of a molecule = energy associated with position or configuration of electrons. Chemical energy = potential energy of an electron. If an electron is close to negative charges on other electrons and far away from positive charges in nuclei, it has high potential energy. High ep , 4 negative charges in small area of 3 phosphate groups. Repel each other and ep of electrons is very high. Atp has higher energy level than adp because the negative charges that are closely spaced, associated with the oxygen atoms of phosphate groups. Phosphorylation - addition of a phosphate group to a substrate (negative charge) Exergonic - electrons in adp and phosphate group have less ep than in atp. Protein movement - adds a negative charge to a protein, electrons in protein change configuration. When a substrate or enzyme is phosphorylated, the exergonic phosphorylation reaction is coupled to an endergonic reaction.
