Document Summary
Hlsc 124: lecture notes+ supplemental textbook chapter 5 notes. Tortora, g. , funke, b. , & case, c. (2016). Microbial metabolism: metabolism: the sum of all chemical reactions in the body (sum of catabolism and anabolism, two kind of reactions occurring in the body at all times. Catabolism: breakdown of complex molecules into smaller ones, releases energy, exergonic reactions (towards the outside, produce more energy than they consume, produces atp, hydrolytic reaction, use enzymes. 2: synthesis of complex molecules from smaller ones, use energy, endergonic (towards the outside, use more energy than they consume, uses atp, dehydration synthesis reaction, use enzymes, atp: Triphosphate: three phosphate molecules unstably bonded, phosphate is negatively charged the molecules repel each other creating atp when one of the molecules (inorganic phosphate) shoots off, final phosphate is prone to splitting, releases energy, atp becomes adp. Ready source of energy: principle source, most used energy source in the body, sometimes called metabolic money, role of enzymes in chemical reactions.
