Document Summary

Metabolic pathway molecules into more readily usable materials. Remember: metabolic pathways need enzymes to perform sustainably. without enzymes, the reactions would not occur fast enough to sustain the life of the cell. Eg: cellular respiration: sugar taken by the cell and broken down to make atp (energy). Eg: photosynthesis: oxygen and c-arbon dioxide is taken to create glucose molecules. Release energy while break down molecules. Thermal energy: random motion of particles (produce heat) Gravitational energy: attraction between 2 objects. (pulled together) Chemical energy: attraction of electrons to protons in chemical bonds. Known as bond energy, it is the energy stored in glucose and atp molecules used for metabolic reactions. Coupled reactions: exergonic reactions supply energy to endergonic reactions. Eg: when you eat something, chemical energy in food is converted into usable atp for movement(kinetic energy). no energy is lost, everything is accounted for.

TRUE or FALSE: The electron transport chain is aerobic.

How many ATP molecules do anaerobic pathways produce?

Oxidation reduction reactions are coupled and referred to as redox reactions. Electrons are the atomic particles that participate in chemical bonds and are used by cells to generate an electrochemical gradient across membranes. Cells have require ATP to maintain membrane properties and metabolism, because ATP has high energy phosphate bonds that may be cleaved to release energy. Cells synthesize ATP through phosphorylation. Cells must perform many chemical reactions within a certain temperature, pH and osmolarity range. In general chemical reactions in a cell would occur over time without enzymes, and it might require big changes in temperature. Enzymes are organic catalysts that increase the rate of reactions without being altered in the process. Review protein structure and function in chapter 2 to understand how enzymes work. Enzymes also may act as 'switches' and be the rate controlling steps in a biochemcial pathway. There are several ways enzyme activity is altered by other factors or physical conditions.

1. The bacterial enzyme streptokinase is used to digest fibrin in patients with atherosclerosis. Why doesn't the injection of streptokinase cause a streptococcal infection?

2. How do we know that streptokinase will break down fibrin and not functional tissue?

3. 5 bromouracil is used as an anti cancer drug it is mistaken for thymine by cellular enzymes during DNA replication, name the enzyme site the nucleoside analog is probably binding.

Most of a cell's energy is derived from the oxidation of carbohydrates. Glucose is the most common oxidized carbohydrate. There are two types of glucose catabolism respiration and fermentation.

4. Is glucose completely broken down in respiration or fermentation?
