amino acids

HOW ORGANISMS MANAGE THEIR ENERGY

resources

capacity to do work: change in the state or motion of matter

Cells obtain chemical energy when molecules are

rearranged:

Therefore, a basic knowledge of ENERGY is necessary to understand how cells work…

Potential Energy •stored in molecules in the chem. bonds

…is converted to Kinetic Energy

Potential Energy - where is it in this picture?

Kinetic Energy

•(energy of motion)

• energy that “powers” the cell.

ex. cell respiration, releases energy stored in the bonds of sugar

molecules.

Kinetic Energy

Where is it here??? This one is easy to see!

Christian Right Lobbies To Overturn Second Law Of ThermodynamicsSeptember 6, 2000 | Issue 36•31

TOPEKA, KS–The second law of thermodynamics, a fundamental scientific principle stating that entropy increases over time as organized forms decay into greater states of randomness, has come under fire from conservative Christian groups, who are demanding that the law be repealed.

"What do these scientists want us teaching our children? That the universe will continue to expand until it reaches eventual heat death?" asked Christian Coalition president Ralph Reed, speaking at a rally protesting a recent Kansas Board Of Education decision upholding the law. "That's hardly an optimistic view of a world the Lord created for mankind. The American people are sending a strong message here: We don't like the implications of this law, and we will not rest until it has been reversed in the courts."

The controversial law of nature, which asserts that matter continually breaks down as disorder increases and heat is lost, has long been decried by Christian fundamentalists as running counter to their religion's doctrine of Divine grace and eternal salvation.

"Why can't disorder decrease over time instead of everything decaying?"

Chemical reactions & energy

• Some chemical reactions release energy– exergonic– breaking polymers– hydrolysis = catabolism

• Some chemical reactions require input of energy– endergonic– building polymers – dehydration synthesis = anabolism

digesting molecules= LESS organization=lower energy state

building molecules= MORE organization=higher energy state

Living cells,

unavoidable,

convert organized forms of energy to

How can we predict How can we predict which changes occur which changes occur

ENERGY, in a system, THAT CAN PERFORM WORK

measure of this free energy

Yale scientist featured in stamp series Gibbs received the first Ph.D. in engineering in the U.S. from Yale in 1863. He later became a

member of the Yale faculty.

Endergonic vs. exergonic reactions

exergonic endergonic- energy released- digestion

- energy invested- synthesis

G = change in free energy = ability to do work

Chemical Reactions (2 Chemical Reactions (2 types):types):

Exergonic- proceeds with a net release of free E. G is negative spontaneous

Endergonic- proceeds with a net gain of Energy/ absorbs it

G is positivenonspontaneous

Exergonic- proceeds with a net release of free E.

exergonic- energy released- digestion

Chemical reactions & energy

• Some chemical reactions release energy– exergonic– breaking polymers– hydrolysis = catabolism

• Some chemical reactions require input of energy– endergonic– building polymers – dehydration synthesis = anabolism

digesting molecules= LESS organization=lower energy state

building molecules= MORE organization=higher energy state

Cells “work” three Cells “work” three ways: ways:

•Mechanical work = muscle

contraction

•Transport work = pumping across

membranes

•Chemical work = making polymers

ENERGY SOURCE for the work is ATPATP

Cell takes the E. and transfers the Phosphate to another molecule.

Phosphorylation!

Cell takes the E. and transfers the Phosphate to another molecule.This molecule is less

stable than the original molecule.

WHAT DOES A graph HAVE TO DO WITH BIOLOGY ???????

A chemical reaction will occur spontaneously if it releases free energy , but the process may be too slow to be effective, in living cells…

ex. hydrolysis of sucrose: Does occur

spontaneously….

But it would take way too long….

ex. hydrolysis of sucrose:

Energy of Activation - energy required to break bonds (EA) barrier is EXTREMELY high - the reaction will occur only if reactants are heated:

WHAT about pH changes????

“A cell is not just a bag of chemicals with thousands of

different kinds of enzymes and substrates

wandering about randomly.”

Chaos would result if all of a cell’s metabolic pathways were open at the same time… must be regulated

Allosteric

Regulation

• The control of an enzyme complex by the binding of a regulatory molecule.

• Regulatory molecule may stimulatestimulate or inhibitinhibit the enzyme enzyme complexcomplex.

Allosteric Regulation-•allosteric enzymes have 2 or more polypeptides.

•Oscillates between active and inactive.

•activator keeps it “on” - active

•inhibitor keeps it “off” - inactive

Cooperativity-•Enzyme having many subunits

•Binding of one substrate to the active site causes all active sites to “run”

Feedback Inhibition-•pathways are switched on and off by the end product.

•the end product acts as an inhibitor of an enzyme within the pathway.

Sometimes enzymes require nonprotein “helpers”
