Document Summary

Coupled reactions within living cells: glucose, exergonic glucose breakdown, c02+h20+heat. How to cells controls their metabolic reactions: metabolism, metabolism: sum of all the chemical reactions in a cell, exergonic + endergonic = metabolism, metabolic pathway: series of reactions linked in a sequence. Intermediates: a b c d, enzyme 2, enzyme 3, a b c d e, enzyme 4, a b c d e, enzyme 5. Activation energy: controls rate of reaction: highest point of reaction, enzymes drastically reduce the cost of activation energy for the reaction to proceed. 5 properties of biological catalysts: speed up rxns, speed up rxns that would occur anyway, not consumed in the rxns, enzymes are very specific, enzymes activity is regulated, can be turned on and off like a light switch. Enzyme substrates interactions: substrates enter active site, shape change promotes reactions, product released enzyme ready again.
