Document Summary

The energy of life: the living cell is a miniature factory where thousands of reactions occur. Metabolism: metabolic pathways: begin with speci c molecules and through a series of steps and chemical reactions produce speci c products. Types of pathways: catabolic pathways: break down big molecules into small molecules which releases energy, anabolic pathways: build big molecules from small molecules which consumes energy. Forms of energy: kinetic energy: energy that is associated with motion. Light & heat energy are both forms of kinetic energy (movement of molecules: potential energy: stored in the location of matter, includes chemical energy stores in molecular structures. Energy conversion: when energy is converted from one form to another. Catalyst & enzyme: chemical agent that speeds up a reaction without being consumes by the reaction, catalytic protein (although some enzymes can be rna), catalyzes reactions by lowering the ea barrier. Substrate speci city of enzymes: substrate: reactant an enzyme acts on.
