Chemical
reaction
Occurs when atoms have enough energy to combine or
change
bonding partners

View source
Metabolism
Sum total
of all
chemical reactions
occurring in a biological system at a given time
View source
Metabolic reactions involve
energy
changes
View source
Energy
The
capacity
to do work, or the capacity for
change
View source
Forms
of energy
Potential
energy
Kinetic
energy
View source
Energy
can be
converted
from one form to another
View source
Anabolic
reactions
Complex molecules are made from
simple
molecules;
energy
is required
View source
Catabolic
reactions
Complex
molecules
are broken down to
simpler
ones; energy is released
View source
Catabolic
and
anabolic
reactions are often linked
View source
The energy released in catabolic reactions is used to drive
anabolic
reactions—to do
biological
work
View source
First
law of thermodynamics
Energy
is neither created nor
destroyed
View source
Second
law of thermodynamics
When
energy
is converted from one form to another, some of that
energy
becomes unavailable to do work
View source
No energy transformation is 100% efficient; some energy is lost to molecular-scale disorder (
entropy
) often as
heat
View source
In the universe as a whole, or in any isolated system, the degree of disorder can only
increase
View source
Systems will change spontaneously toward those arrangements that have the
greatest
probability
View source
Enthalpy (H)
Total energy
View source
Free
energy (
G
)
Usable energy that
can do work
View source
Entropy
(S)
Unusable energy associated with
molecular-scale
disorder
View source
H =
G
+
TS
View source
Change
in free energy (ΔG)
Measured in
calories
or
joules
View source
ΔG =
ΔH
-
TΔS
View source
ΔG =
Gfinal
-
Ginitial
View source
If ΔG is
-
, free
energy
is released
View source
If ΔG is
+
, free
energy
is required
View source
If free energy is NOT available,
reaction
doesn't occur
View source
Entropy
(i.e., "unusable" energy associated with molecular-scale disorder) tends to
increase
because of energy transformations
View source
Reversing the natural tendency toward disorder requires an
intentional effort
and an input of
energy
View source
Living organisms must have a constant supply of free energy (from
catabolism
of
food molecules
) to maintain order
View source
Exergonic
reactions
Release free energy (
-ΔG
)
View source
Endergonic
reactions
Consume free energy (
+ΔG
)
View source
In
principle, chemical reactions are
reversible
View source
At chemical equilibrium, ΔG =
0
View source
The further towards completion the point of equilibrium is, the
more
free energy is released
View source
ΔG values near
zero
are characteristic of readily
reversible
reactions
View source
ATP
Captures
and
transfers
free energy
View source
ATP hydrolysis
ATP →
ADP
+
Pi
View source
Formation
of ATP
Endergonic: ADP +
Pi
+ free
energy
→ ATP + H2O
View source
Coupling of endergonic and exergonic reactions is powered by
formation
&
hydrolysis
of ATP
View source
Coupling is very common in
metabolism
