2 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?
