Document Summary

Concept 6. 1 atp and reduced coenzymes play important role in biological energy metabolism. There are five general principles governing metabolic pathways: A complex chemical transformation occurs in a series of separate, intermediate reactions that from a metabolic pathway. Each reaction is catalyzed by a specific enzyme. Most metabolic pathways are similar in all organisms, from bacteria to plants to humans. In eukaryotes, many metabolic pathways are compartmentalized, with certain reactions occurring inside specific organelles. Each metabolic pathway is controlled by key enzymes that can be inhibited or activated, thereby determining the reactions will go. Cells use atp as a kind of energy currency. Some of the energy that is released in exergonic reactions is captured in chemical bonds when. Atp is formed from adp and inorganic phosphate. An active cell requires the production of millions of molecules of atp per second to drive its biochemical machinery.
