ENERGY! METABOLISM!
3
What is METABOLISM? Sum total of all the biochemical reactions that go on in a living cell or organism. Involves ANABOLIC and CATABOLIC processes, which compliment each other.
4
oxidative - electrons released involve ‘breaking’ polymers into simpler monomers ENERGY IS RELEASED Catabolic Processes
5
Anabolic processes These are SYNTHESES Molecules are REDUCED (electrons must be added) Make/build complex polymers from simple monomers ENERGY IS REQUIRED, CONSUMED
6
These complex proteins catalyze all metabolic reactions. Enzymes are large and complex PROTEINS, and proteins are encoded by DNA (DNA = recipe for a protein)
7
Enzymes complex with substrate, and hold it in the proper orientation for reaction. What types of environmental conditions affect the activity of enzymes???
8
VERY IMPORTANT molecules involved in shuttling between both: ATP/ADP (energy) NAD+ / NADH (electrons)
9
P ATPADP + + ++ P ATP Role of ADP/ATP
10
Role of NAD+/NADH H2H2 e - NAD+ oxidized NADH 2 reduced + +
11
Coupling of reactions in cell NAD+ Reduced energy source Oxidized energy source NADH 2 + + Every oxidation has a reduction - Every reduction has an oxidation.
12
Some additional rules that appear to govern the workings of the Universe: THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH. EVERY REACTION WASTES ENERGY(heat, entropy change) (Otherwise known as the first 2 Laws of Thermodynamics)
13
1. Substrate level phosphorylation (simple transfer of P from a carbon compound) Fermentation! 2. Cellular Respiration or ‘oxidative phosphorylation’ - a complex process involving an electron transport chain [3. Photophosphorylation - light provides energy, with an electron transport chain] How do cells manage to generate it?
