Document Summary

Chapter 4 energy and enzymes part 2. Exergonic reaction where g is negative because products contain less free energy than reactants. Gives off energy, sometimes the energy is used to trigger endergonic reactions (i. e. glycolysis). The concept is similar to exothermic reactions but, instead of having a change in temperature, the change is in the free energy. Endergonic reaction where g is positive because products contain more free energy than reactants. Needs to absorb energy in order to be trigger (i. e. photosynthesis). The concept, again, is similar to endothermic reactions, though, instead of absorbing heat, it absorbs free energy. Metabolic pathway: series of sequential reactions in which the products are used as reactions for a following reaction. Catabolic pathway: bigger molecules are broken down to simpler compounds, giving off energy (exergonic). Anabolic pathway: small compounds are used to build bigger molecules, consuming energy (endergonic).
