Unit 2 Review
The Cell
(except Cell Cycle, Ch 12!)
Break down the points on this essay question:
Prokayrotic and eukaryotic cells are physiologically different in many ways, but both represent functional collections of living matter.
A.It has been theorized that the organelles of eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotes living symbiotically within a larger cell. Compare & contrast the structure of the prokaryotic cell with eukaryotic cell organelles, and make an argument for or against this theory.
B.Trace the path of a protein in a eukaryotic cell from its formation to its excretion from the cell.

Section A: Metabolism, Energy, and Life
1. The chemistry of life is organized into metabolic pathways
2. Organisms transform energy
3. The energy transformations of life are subject to two laws of
thermodynamics
4. Organisms live at the expense of free energy
5. ATP powers cellular work by coupling exergonic reactions to endergonic
reactions
• Energy conversion:– child operates muscles to move limbs:
• P.E. (chemical) K.E. (muscle/body movement)
– climbing to the top of a slide: • K.E. P.E. (altitude)
– sliding down:• P.E. K.E. (movement)
– friction for slowing/stopping:• K.E. heat energy

• What is that 686 kcal/mol used for?
Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• ATP ADP + Pi
G is -7.3 kcal/mol. This is exothermic
• Each phosphate group has a neg charge.
• Their repulsion creates instability.

Section A: The Principles of Energy Harvest
1. Cellular respiration and fermentation are catabolic, energy-yielding
pathways
2. Cells recycle the ATP they use for work
3. Redox reactions release energy when electrons move closer to
electronegative atoms
4. Electrons “fall” from organic molecules to oxygen during cellular
respiration
5. The “fall” of electrons during respiration is stepwise, via NAD+ and an
electron transport chain
CHAPTER 9CELLULAR RESPIRATION:
HARVESTING CHEMICAL ENERGY
• Two main catabolic processes for sugar metabolism?– fermentation – yields PARTIAL breakdown.– cellular respiration: uses oxygen to complete the
breakdown of many organic molecules.• more efficient and widespread • Most steps occur in mitochondria.
Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
?
• Photosynthetic organisms store energy in organic molecules. – These are available to…
• themselves, and …• others that eat them.
