Document Summary

Chapter 6: pathways that harvest and store chemical energy. Concept 6. 1: atp and reduced coenzymes play important roles in biological energy metabolism. Five general principles governing metabolic pathways: a complex chemical transformation occurs in a series of separate, intermediate reaction that form a metabolic pathway, each reaction is catalyzed by a specific enzyme, most metabolic pathways are similar. In eukaryotes, most reactions are compartmentalized with specific reactions occurring in specific organelles: each metabolic pathway is controlled be key enzymes which can be activated of inhibited thereby determining how fast the reactions will go. Chemical energy available to do work is considered free energy. Endergonic: if energy is needed to perform the reaction. Exergonic: if energy is released from the reaction. Atp hydrolysis releases energy: atp+h2o-> adp+p+ free energy, ( g) means product molecules have less free energy than the reactants. Nad^+ +h^+ 2e^- -> nadh: nadh is more exergonic than atp therefore has the larger package of free energy.
