30 views3 pages

Document Summary

Chemical phosphorylation of reactants provides energy to drive the endergonic synthesis of products . Mechanical transfer of phosphate groups to special motor proteins in muscle cells causes the proteins to change shape and pull on protein filaments, causing the cells to contract . Transport atp drives the active transport of solutes across a membrane against their concentration gradient by phosphorylating transport proteins . Atp is a renewable resource that is regenerated by cells . Energy released in exergonic reactions is used to regenerate adp to atp (endergonic reaction: phosphate group is bonded to adp , hydrolysis of atp releases energy that drives endergonic reactions. Few metabolic reactions would occur without the assistance of enzymes . Enzymes speed up the cell"s chemical reactions by lowering energy barriers. Proteins, dna, carbohydrates and lipids are all rich in potential energy . An energy barrier must be overcome before a chemical reaction can begin .
