Two Laws of
Thermodynamics
• First law:
Law of conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be
changed from one form to another
• Second law:
Law of entropy
When energy is changed from one form to another,
there is a loss of usable energy
Waste energy goes to increase disorder

6.2 Metabolic Reactions and Energy
Transformations
•
Metabolism
Sum of cellular chemical reactions in cell
Reactants participate in a reaction
Products form as result of a reaction
•
Free energy
is the amount of energy available
to perform work
Exergonic Reactions - Products have less free energy than reactants (release energy)
Endergonic Reactions - Products have more free energy than reactants (require energy input)
ATP: Energy for Cells
•
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
High energy compound used to drive metabolic
reactions
Constantly being generated from
adenosine
diphosphate (ADP)
• Composed of:
Adenine, ribose (together = adenosine), and three
phosphate groups
• Coupled reactions
Energy released by an exergonic reaction
captured in ATP
ATP is used to drive an endergonic reaction

6.3 Metabolic Pathways and
Enzymes
• Reactions usually occur in a sequence
Products of an earlier reaction become reactants of a
later reaction
Such linked reactions form a metabolic pathway
• Begins with a particular reactant, proceeds through several intermediates, and terminates with a particular end product

6.3 Metabolic Pathways and
Enzymes
•
Enzyme
Protein molecules that function as catalysts
The reactants of an enzymatically catalyzed reaction
are called substrates
Each enzyme accelerates a specific reaction
Each reaction in a metabolic pathway requires a
unique and specific enzyme
The end product will not be formed unless ALL
enzymes in the pathway are present and functional
20
Energy of Activation
• Molecules frequently do not react with one
another unless they are activated in some way
Energy must be added to at least one reactant to
initiate the reaction
• Energy of activation
• Enzyme Operation:
Enzymes operate by lowering the energy of
activation
Accomplished by bringing substrates into contact with
one another

Enzyme-Substrate Complex
• The
active site
complexes with the
substrates
Causes the active site to change shape
Shape change forces substrates together,
initiating bond
Induced fit model
• Enzyme is induced to undergo a slight alteration to
Enzyme-Substrate Complex
• Degradation:
Enzyme complexes with a single substrate molecule
Substrate is broken apart into two product molecules
• Synthesis:
Enzyme complexes with two substrate molecules
Substrates are joined together and released as a
single product molecule

Factors Affecting Enzymatic
Speed
• Substrate concentration
Enzyme activity increases with substrate
concentration due to more frequent collisions between substrate molecules and the enzyme
• Temperature
Enzyme activity increases with temperature
Warmer temperatures cause more effective collisions
between enzyme and substrate
However, hot temperatures can denature and
destroy enzymes
• pH
Most enzymes are optimized for a particular pH

Factors Affecting Enzymatic
Speed
• Cells can regulate the presence/absence of an
enzyme
• Cells can regulate the concentration of an
enzyme
• Cells can activate or deactivate some enzymes
Enzyme Cofactors
• Molecules required to activate enzyme
• Coenzymes are nonprotein organic molecules
• Vitamins are small organic compounds required in the diet
for the synthesis of coenzymes

Enzyme Inhibition
• Reversible enzyme inhibition
A substance known as an inhibitor binds to an
enzyme and decreases its activity
• Competitive inhibition – the substrate and the
inhibitor are both able to bind to active site
• Noncompetitive inhibition – the inhibitor does not
bind at the active site, but at an allosteric site

Metabolic pathway produces F, the end product.
F binds to allosteric site and the active site of E1 changes shape.
A cannot bind to E1; the enzyme has been inhibited by F.

Enzyme Inhibitors Can Spell
Death
• Materials that irreversibly inhibit an enzyme are
known as poisons
• Cyanide inhibits enzymes required for ATP
production
• Sarin inhibits an enzyme located at the
neuromuscular junction.
• Warfarin inhibits an enzyme responsible for the
blood clotting process
6.4 Organelles and the Flow
of Energy
•
Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions
Electrons pass from one molecule to another
• Oxidation - loss of an electron
• Reduction – gain of an electron
Both take place at same time
One molecule accepts the electron given up by
the other
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Electron Transport Chain
• Consists of membrane-bound carrier proteins
found in mitochondria and chloroplasts
• Physically arranged in an ordered series
Starts with high-energy electrons
Pass electrons from one carrier to another
• Electron energy used to pump hydrogen ions (H+) to one side
of membrane
• Establishes an electrochemical gradient across the membrane
• The electrochemical gradient is used to make ATP from ADP
– Chemiosmosis
Ends with low-energy electrons and high-energy ATP

high-energy electrons
High-energy electrons are unstable and have high potential energy. This energy is released in stages, as kinetic energy, during the
electron transport chain.

the electrons become more stable and have less potential energy.
