Document Summary

List and briefly discuss the functions of the three major components of cell structure. Sarcolemma- semipermeable membrane that separates the cell from the extracellular environment. It has two functions: to enclose the components of the cell and to regulate the passage of various substances in and out of the cell. It decides what gets in and what does not. Nucleus- large round body within the cell that contains genes. Sarcoplasm- contains the organelles in the fluid portion of the cell: briefly explain the concept of coupled reactions. Coupled reactions are two reactions that are linked. Energy is liberated in one reaction and that energy is used to drive a second reaction: define the following terms: (1) bioenergetics, (2) endergonic reactions, and (3) exergonic reactions. Bioenergetics: the process of converting chemical energy, or foodstuffs, into mechanical energy that the body can use through a series of highly controlled reactions. Exergonic reactions release energy: discuss the role of enzymes as catalysts.
