Cellular Respiration -A metabolic pathway that uses glucose to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP )

Glycolysis -happens in the cytoplasm/ can happen without O2 1.One glucose molecules go in and gets turned into Glucose 6 Phosphate with the enzyme hexokinase (1 ATP need for this/ the ATP becomes ADP) 2. The glucose 6 phosphate magically becomes fructose 6 phosphate which gets turned into Fructose 1 6 Bisphosphate with the enzyme phospofructokinase ( 1 ATP Needed for this/ the ATP becomes ADP) 3. End result: 2 NADH, 2 Pyruvate, 4 ATP/ Net: 2 bc you used 2

Pyruvate Oxidation -Happens in the Matrix CoA gets attached to 1 Pyruvate and that makes 1 Acytyl CoA this process turned NAD+ to NADH

Citric Acid Cycle - Happens in the matrix also know as the kreb cycle -Oxaloacetate reacts with acetyl-CoA to produce citrate after a lot of stuff the citrate becomes isocitrate which then becomes ketogluterate and a NADH is produced the last steps of this cycle produce 1 ATP, 2 NADH and 1 FADH2 - Total Products for 1 cycle: 3 NADH (which are electron carriers), 1 ATP, 1 FADH2 ( which are also electron carriers)

Oxidative Phosphorylation

Energy Transfers and Transformations

Catabolic and Anabolic

Coupling

add together exergonic and endergonic, and delta G must equal a negative number for the reaction to happen

Anabolic

Photosynthesis

Consumes energy to build longer and more complicated molecules from simpler ones

Endergonic

Catabolic

Cellular Respiration

energy is released by a breakdown of a complex molecule into simpler components

Excergonic

Enzymes

Feedback Inhibition

the end product becomes an inhibitor and binds + changes the shape of the original enzyme's active site

end product molecule unbinds and the synthesis of the end product can continue.

Allosteric Regulation

Cooperativity

when one substrate molecule binds to the active site of a subunit and locks the other subunits into the active form.

Four subunits with an active site on each and a space inbetween the subunits to bind the regulatory molecules

activators and inhibitors

Inhibitors stabilize the enzyme but inhibit the function of the enzyme and does not allow the binding of other substrates

Activators stabilize the enzyme into a Stabilized Active Form

Functions

Noncompetitive Inhibition

function is only carried out to an extent or not at all

substrate may still be able to bind

particle binds to enzyme not at the active site and changes the shape.

Competitive Inhibition

function is not carried out

a mimic of the substrate binds to the active site

substrate binds to enzyme's site

effected by:

pH

ex: intestinal enzyme is at higher pHs than a stomach enzyme (more acidic)

Heat

heat loving enzymes ensure the reaction can happen at high temperatures

Lower activation energies

metabolic pathways

Gibb's Free Energy

Spontaneity

delta G is positive

Delta G is Negative

more stable + released free energy can be harnessed to do work

delta G = delta H - T delta S

The lower the free energy, the more stable and less work capacity

The higher the free energy,the less stable and greater work capacity

Hypertonic

a solute cannot move across cell membrane, so water moves across membrane to balance concentration of solute on both sides
