Document Summary

Used to obtain energy for endergonic reactions: energy stored in energy intermediates. Substrate-level phosphorylation: enzyme directly transfers phosphate from one molecule to another molecule. Energy stored in an electrochemical gradient is used to make atp from adp and pi. Redox reaction: electron removed from one molecule is added to another, oil-rig. B: has been oxidized, electron removed, has been reduced, electron added. Electrons removed by oxidation are used to create energy intermediates like nadh. Nadh : oxidized to make atp, can donate electrons during synthesis reactions. Make large macromolecules or smaller molecules not available from food. Gene regulation: turn on or off genes. Biochemical regulation: feedback inhibition- product of pathway inhibits early steps to prevent over accumulation of product. Most large molecules exist for a relatively short period of time. Half-life-time it takes for 50% of the molecules to be broken down and recycled. All living organisms must efficiently use and recycle organic molecules.
