Energetics –Is the flow of energy and its changes from one form to I. another
II. Metabolism - Refers to all chemical reactions in an organism
A. Introduction to Terms –
1. Anabolism – Is the synthesis of new organic molecules,is an “uphill” process that forms new chemical bonds.
III. chemical bonds
1. Catabolism – Is the breakdown of organic substrates, Releases energy used to synthesize high-energy compounds (e.g., ATP)
ATP – • Oxidative Phosphorylation
• Is the generation of ATP
• Within mitochondria
• In a reaction requiring coenzymes and oxygen
• Produces more than 90% of ATP used by body
• Results in 2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O
• Electron Transport System (ETS)
• Is the key reaction in oxidative phosphorylation
• Is in inner mitochondrial membrane
• Electrons carry chemical energy
• Within a series of integral and peripheral proteins
• Oxidation, Reduction, and Energy Transfer
• Oxidation (loss of electrons)
• Electron donor is oxidized
• Reduction (gain of electrons)
• Electron recipient is reduced
• The two reactions are always paired
• Energy Transfer
• Electrons transfer energy
• Energy performs physical or chemical work (ATP formation) • Electrons
• Travel through series of oxidation–reduction reactions • Ultimately combine with oxygen to form water
• Coenzymes
• Play key role in
