Chapter 5 The Working Cell
2
Cool “Fires” Attract Mates and Meals
Fireflies use light to send signals to potential mates Instead of using chemical signals like most other insects
3
The light comes from a set of chemical reactions
That occur in light-producing organs at the rear of the insect
4
Females of some species
Produce a light pattern that attracts males of other species, which are then eaten by the female
5
5.1 Energy is the capacity to perform work
ENERGY AND THE CELL 5.1 Energy is the capacity to perform work All organisms require energy Which is defined as the capacity to do work
6
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion
Potential energy is stored energy And can be converted to kinetic energy Figure 5.1A–C
7
5.2 Two laws govern energy transformations
Thermodynamics Is the study of energy transformations
8
The First Law of Thermodynamics
According to the first law of thermodynamics Energy can be changed from one form to another Energy cannot be created or destroyed Figure 5.2A
9
Energy for cellular work
The Second Law of Thermodynamics The second law of thermodynamics States that energy transformations increase disorder or entropy, and some energy is lost as heat Heat Chemical reactions Carbon dioxide + Glucose + ATP ATP water Oxygen Energy for cellular work Figure 5.2B
10
5.3 Chemical reactions either store or release energy
Endergonic reactions Absorb energy and yield products rich in potential energy Potential energy of molecules Reactants Energy required Products Amount of energy required Figure 5.3A
11
Exergonic reactions Release energy and yield products that contain less potential energy than their reactants Reactants Energy released Products Amount of energy released Potential energy of molecules Figure 5.3B
12
Cells carry out thousands of chemical reactions
The sum of which constitutes cellular metabolism Energy coupling Uses exergonic reactions to fuel endergonic reactions
13
5.4 ATP shuttles chemical energy and drives cellular work
ATP powers nearly all forms of cellular work
14
The energy in an ATP molecule
Lies in the bonds between its phosphate groups Phosphate groups ATP Energy P Hydrolysis Adenine Ribose H2O Adenosine diphosphate Adenosine Triphosphate + ADP Figure 5.4A
15
ATP drives endergonic reactions by phosphorylation
Transferring a phosphate group to make molecules more reactive ATP Chemical work Mechanical work Transport work P Molecule formed Protein moved Solute transported ADP + Product Reactants Motor protein Membrane protein Solute Figure 5.4B
16
Cellular work can be sustained
Because ATP is a renewable resource that cells regenerate ATP ADP + P Energy for endergonic reactions Energy from exergonic reactions Phosphorylation Hydrolysis Figure 5.4C
17
HOW ENZYMES FUNCTION 5.5 Enzymes speed up the cell’s chemical reactions by lowering energy barriers
18
For a chemical reaction to begin
Reactants must absorb some energy, called the energy of activation EA barrier Reactants Products 1 2 Enzyme Figure 5.5A
19
Progress of the reaction
A protein catalyst called an enzyme Can decrease the energy of activation needed to begin a reaction Reactants EA without enzyme EA with enzyme Net change in energy Products Energy Progress of the reaction Figure 5.5B
20
5.6 A specific enzyme catalyzes each cellular reaction
Enzymes have unique three-dimensional shapes That determine which chemical reactions occur in a cell
21
The catalytic cycle of an enzyme
1 Enzyme available with empty active site Active site Substrate (sucrose) 2 Substrate binds to enzyme with induced fit Enzyme (sucrase) Glucose Fructose H2O 4 Products are released 3 Substrate is converted to products Figure 5.6
22
5.7 The cellular environment affects enzyme activity
Temperature, salt concentration, and pH influence enzyme activity Some enzymes require nonprotein cofactors Such as metal ions or organic molecules called coenzymes
23
5.8 Enzyme inhibitors block enzyme action
Inhibitors interfere with an enzyme’s activity
24
Normal binding of substrate
A competitive inhibitor Takes the place of a substrate in the active site A noncompetitive inhibitor Alters an enzyme’s function by changing its shape Substrate Enzyme Active site Normal binding of substrate Enzyme inhibition Noncompetitive inhibitor Competitive inhibitor Figure 5.8
25
CONNECTION 5.9 Many poisons, pesticides, and drugs are enzyme inhibitors

MEMBRANE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
5.10 Membranes organize the chemical activities of cells Membranes Provide structural order for metabolism
27
The plasma membrane of the cell is selectively permeable
Controlling the flow of substances into or out of the cell Cytoplasm Outside of cell TEM 200,000 Figure 5.10
28
5.11 Membrane phospholipids form a bilayer
Have a hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic tails Are the main structural components of membranes CH2 CH3 CH N + O O– P C Phosphate group Symbol Hydrophilic head Hydrophobic tails Figure 5.11A
29
Phospholipids form a two-layer sheet
Called a phospholipid bilayer, with the heads facing outward and the tails facing inward Water Hydrophilic heads Hydrophobic tails Figure 5.11B

5.12 The membrane is a fluid mosaic of phospholipids and proteins
A membrane is a fluid mosaic With proteins and other molecules embedded in a phospholipid bilayer Fibers of the extracellular matrix Carbohydrate (of glycoprotein) Glycoprotein Microfilaments of cytoskeleton Phospholipid Cholesterol Proteins Plasma membrane Glycolipid Cytoplasm Figure 5.12
31
5.13 Proteins make the membrane a mosaic of function
Many membrane proteins Function as enzymes Figure 5.13A
32
Other membrane proteins
Function as receptors for chemical messages from other cells Messenger molecule Receptor Activated molecule Figure 5.13B
33
Membrane proteins also function in transport
Moving substances across the membrane ATP Figure 5.13C
34
5.14 Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane
In passive transport, substances diffuse through membranes without work by the cell Spreading from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration Equilibrium Membrane Molecules of dye Figure 5.14A Figure 5.14B
35
Small nonpolar molecules such as O2 and CO2
Diffuse easily across the phospholipid bilayer of a membrane
36
5.15 Transport proteins may facilitate diffusion across membranes
Many kinds of molecules Do not diffuse freely across membranes For these molecules, transport proteins Provide passage across membranes through a process called facilitated diffusion Solute molecule Transport protein Figure 5.15
37
5.16 Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane
In osmosis Water travels from a solution of lower solute concentration to one of higher solute concentration Lower concentration of solute Higher concentration of solute Equal concentration of solute H2O Solute molecule Selectively permeable membrane Water molecule Solute molecule with cluster of water molecules Net flow of water Figure 5.16
