Document Summary
** don"t have to memorize nutrients, what it"s made of. Organisms are grouped and named on the basis of their sources of energy electrons and carbon. All cells convert energy to do work in cell. Oxidation and reduction reactions in cell (redox reactions shift potential energy stored in chemical in bonds) Stability: free potential energy delta g = amount of energy that becomes available to do work. Products more stable (less energy) than reactants (more energy) System has potential to change if there is increase in stability. Move from less strongly bonded (weak) to more strongly bonded (stable) Most important determinate of system stability and available free energy. Building and breaking down of energy sources (carbon) to harness or release energy. Biosynthetic reactions such as polymerization reaction have positive g. Add 3 phosphate groups to adenine add energy because they are charged. All negative so they repel -> make molecules less stable. Raises to higher energy level due to instability.
