Metabolism & Energy
-
-
All energy exists in either kinetic energy (energy needed to move) or potential energy (stored energy)
-
Bond energy
-
Energy is used to break bonds at the beginning of the reaction, and then the energy is released so that the bonds can reform.
Minimum amount of energy to break a specific bond represents the strength of a bond and energy consumed to break the bond
-
-
Gibbs Free Energy
Energy that is not lost during energy transformation. The energy is still available to do work later
Positive G(delta): Free energy of products is more than reactants. Reactions are endergonic and are not spontaneous
Negative G(Delta): Free energy of products is less than reactants. Reactions are exergonic and spontaneous
Coupled Reactions
-
-
-
Anabolic reactions: Energy and simpler compounds are used to build large compounds. They're endogonic
-
Energy Coupling
ATP doens't act in an isolated way, it's seen in many different circumstances in which we need to break down things or to build them up.
