Metabolism
Metabolism is all of the physiological (chemical) processes of a cell
![Page 3: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Catabolic pathways release energy by breaking down complex molecules into simpler compounds
Cellular respiration, the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen, is an example of a pathway of catabolism
![Page 4: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Anabolic pathways consume energy to build complex molecules from simpler ones
The synthesis of protein from amino acids is an example of anabolism
Bioenergetics is the study of how organisms manage their energy resources

Forms of Energy
Energy is the capacity to cause changeEnergy exists in various forms, some of which
can perform work
![Page 6: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Kinetic energy is energy associated with motion
Heat (thermal energy) is kinetic energy associated with random movement of atoms or molecules
Potential energy is energy that matter possesses because of its location or structure
Chemical energy is potential energy available for release in a chemical reaction
Energy can be converted from one form to another

The Laws of Energy Transformation
Thermodynamics is the study of energy transformations
A isolated system, such as that approximated by liquid in a thermos, is isolated from its surroundings
In an open system, energy and matter can be transferred between the system and its surroundings
Organisms are open systems
![Page 10: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The First Law of Thermodynamics
According to the first law of thermodynamics, the energy of the universe is constant
Energy can be transferred and transformed, but it cannot be created or destroyed
The first law is also called the principle of conservation of energy
![Page 11: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Second Law of Thermodynamics
During every energy transfer or transformation, some energy is unusable, and is often lost as heat
According to the second law of thermodynamics
Every energy transfer or transformation increases the entropy (disorder) of the universe
![Page 12: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Living cells unavoidably convert organized forms of energy to heat
Spontaneous processes occur without energy input; they can happen quickly or slowly
For a process to occur without energy input, it must increase the entropy of the universe
![Page 13: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Biological Order and Disorder
Cells create ordered structures from less ordered materials
Organisms also replace ordered forms of matter and energy with less ordered forms
Energy flows into an ecosystem in the form of light and exits in the form of heat
![Page 14: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The evolution of more complex organisms does not violate the second law of thermodynamics
Entropy (disorder) may decrease in an organism, but the universe’s total entropy increases
![Page 15: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The free-energy change of a reaction tells us whether or not the reaction occurs spontaneously
Biologists want to know which reactions occur spontaneously and which require input of energy
To do so, they need to determine energy changes that occur in chemical reactions
![Page 16: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Free-Energy Change, G
A living system’s free energy is energy that can do work when temperature and pressure are uniform, as in a living cell
![Page 17: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The change in free energy (∆G) during a process is related to the change in enthalpy, or change in total energy (∆H), change in entropy (∆S), and temperature in Kelvin (T)
∆G = ∆H – T∆SOnly processes with a negative ∆G are
spontaneousSpontaneous processes can be harnessed to
perform work
![Page 18: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Free Energy, Stability, and Equilibrium
Free energy is a measure of a system’s instability, its tendency to change to a more stable state
During a spontaneous change, free energy decreases and the stability of a system increases
Equilibrium is a state of maximum stabilityA process is spontaneous and can perform
work only when it is moving toward equilibrium
![Page 19: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Free Energy and Metabolism
The concept of free energy can be applied to the chemistry of life’s processes
![Page 23: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Exergonic and Endergonic Reactions in Metabolism
An exergonic reaction proceeds with a net release of free energy and is spontaneous
An endergonic reaction absorbs free energy from its surroundings and is nonspontaneous
![Page 24: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Equilibrium and Metabolism
Reactions in a closed system eventually reach equilibrium and then do no work
Cells are not in equilibrium; they are open systems experiencing a constant flow of materials
A defining feature of life is that metabolism is never at equilibrium
A catabolic pathway in a cell releases free energy in a series of reactions
Closed and open hydroelectric systems can serve as analogies
![Page 26: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Energy = the ability to do work
Kinetic Energy (energy of motion)Potential Energy (stored energy)
First Law of Thermodynamics - the law of conservation of energySecond Law of Thermodynamics - energy cannot be changed without a loss of usable energy (heat)

ATP - the energy currency of cells (adenosine triphosphate)
Functions:1. CHEMICAL WORK - Supplies energy needed to make macromolecules that make up the cell (and organism)2. TRANSPORT WORK - Supplies energy needed to pump substances across the cell membrane3. MECHANICAL WORK - supplies energy needed to make muscles contract and other cellular parts to move (flagella)

Metabolic Pathways & Enzymes (6-3)
Enzyme - protein molecule that functions as an organic catalyst to speed reactions
Substrate - reactants in the enzymatic reaction, this is what an enzyme attaches to
Energy of Activation - the energy required to cause the reaction
![Page 32: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Properties of Enzymes:
• Enzymes are made of proteins.
• They speed up chemical reactions inside the cytoplasm.
• They are needed only in small amounts
• They remain unchanged after each reaction and can therefore be reused
• Each enzyme is specific for a substrate
![Page 33: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Induced Fit Model - substrates and enzymes fit together like a lock and key. (Degradation vs Synthesis) breaking down vs building
![Page 34: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Factors Affecting Enzymatic Speed1. Substrate concentration2. Temperature & pH *3. Enzyme concentration
Enzymes can be denatured - they change shape so much that they are no longer effective. High temp or pH can cause denaturation.
![Page 35: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Siamese cats have an enzyme that works at lower temperatures only, causing the nose and ears to become a darker color than the rest of the body.

Enzymatic Inhibition - when a substance binds to an enzyme and decreases its activity. (Usually reversible)
Competitive Inhibition Noncompetitive Inhibition (allosteric site)**Both are forms of feedback inhibition
![Page 37: The Working Cell: Metabolism, Energy and Enzymes Chapter 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f1b5503460f94c301c2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
