Document Summary

Energy carriers in the cell: flavin adenine dinucleotide (fad) Accepts 2 electrons plus 2 protons to form fadh2. The reduced/high energy form of fad: nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nad+) Accepts 2 electrons plus 2 proton to form nadh. Reduced/high energy form of nad: use to donate electrons to other molecules in the cell. Atp stores energy via phosphate groups (figure 8. 8a: atp is the energy currency for cells, bonds of 3 phosphates store high amount of potential energy. Atp has high potential energy (figure 8. 8b: energy is released when atp is hydrolyzed, energy is transferred to the substrate by phosphorylation. Atp hydrolysis released energy: hydrolysis (adding water, removing one inorganic phosphate. Atp --> adp + pi: releases energy (exergonic) 7. 3 kcal of energy per mole of atp. Chemical reactions: a + b --> ab. Ab is product: chemical bonds are broken and reformed.
