Metabolism, Cellular Respiration, and Fermentation
Introduction to Metabolism
Enzyme activity
Role
Facilitate reactions
Regulate metabolism
Mechanism
Lower activation energy
Substrate
Change substrate shape
Change substrate position
Action in enzyme substrate complex
Definition: Reactant an enzyme acts on
Influencers
Temperature
Substrate concentration: Higer the concetration of substrate, more activity
pH
Enzymes optimal in certain range
Regulation
Cofactors: Aid the activity of the enzyme
Inhibitors
Competitive: block substrate from entering active site
Noncompetitive: Alter enzyme itself
Free Energy
Equation: ∆G = ∆H - T∆S
Application
Spontaneous/Exergonic
Can occur naturally under proper conditions
Non-spontaneous/Endergonic
Cannot occur naturally, without outside input
Driven by
Energy coupling: The use of exergonic processes to drive an endergonic one
ATP involvement
Definition: portion of a system's energy that can perform work
Equation components
∆H: Enthalpy
T: Temperature
∆G: Gibb's Free Energy
∆S: Entropy
Thermodynamics
First Law
Definition: Energy can be transformed, but not created or destroyed
Example: Electrical energy from outlet to light in lamp
Second Law
Definition: Every energy transformation increases the entropy of the universe
Example: The gradual decay and decomposition of a rock overtime
Metabolism
Catabolism
Definition: Breaking down complex molecules to simpler compounds
Example: Cellular respiration
Anabolism
Defintion: Build complicated molecules from simpler ones
Example: Synthesis of proteins from amino acids
Energy
Potential
Definition: Energy of a non-moving object, not kinetic
Example: Potential energy avaliable for release in a chemical reaction
Kinetic
Definition: Energy associated with the relative motion of objects
Example: Thermal energy, random movement of molecules
Entropy
Definition: Measure of molecular disorder
Application: Reactions tend to move things from order to disorder (Spontaneous reactions)
Cellular Respiration and Fermentation
Aerobic Cellular Respiration

Anaerobic Cellular Respiration
Obligate anaerobes
Oxygen is toxic
Facultative anaerobes
Oxygen is not toxic, use when avaliable
