Document Summary

Energy flow: energy released from food is harnessed b cells in useful form, food broken down in useful forms is less disorder than the actual food particles, respiration is a process that is opposite photosynthesis. Breaks down nucleic acids by hydrolyzing b/t nucleotides. Breaks down proteins by hydrolyzing peptide bonds b/t amino acids. Joins two molecules together, dna ligase joins two dna strands together end to end. Catalyzes addition of phosphate groups to molecules (protein kinases group of kinases that attach phosphate groups to proteins) Catalyzes hydrolytic removal of phosphate group from molecules. Catalyzes reactions in which one molecule is oxidized while the other is reduced (oxidases, reductases, dehydrogenases) Hydrolyzes atp, many proteins have energy harnessing atpase as part of their function. Chemical reaction: thermodynamically spontaneous if at equal concentrations of reactant and production, the reaction will proceed from reactant to product, spontaneous reactions are energetically favorable (energy is release), still require activation energy to get them started.
