Document Summary

9. 1 the nature of chemical energy and redox reactions. High potential energy electron is close to (-) charges and far from (+) nuclei. Atp has a great amount of potential energy. The 3 phosphates have 4 (-) charges, and high potential energy because these charges repel each other. When atp reacts with water, the outer phosphate group is removed. Compound b is phosphorylated known as activated substrate: has high potential energy so reaction between a and activated b becomes exergonic, when a substrate/enzyme is phosphorylated, the exergonic phosphorylation reaction is coupled to an endergonic reaction. Glucose does not burn i(cid:374) (cid:272)ell"s, it is oxidized in a series of controlled redox reactions. The change in free energy that occurs during the oxidation of glucose is used to synthesize atp from adp and pi. 9. 2 an overview of cellular respiration: all organisms use glucose to build fats, carbohydrates, and other compounds; cells recover glucose by breaking down these molecules.
