Chapter 5: The Working Cell
All chemical reactions involve the
transfer of energy
• Metabolism – All chemical reactions of a cell
• Energy has two forms:
• Potential Energy – stored energy (i.e. chemical
bonds)
• Kinetic Energy – energy of movement
Potential and Kinetic Energy (5-1)
Laws of Energy
• Conservation of energy
– Energy cannot be created; only changed
– Total energy in a closed system remains constant
• Entropy
– Available energy is lost when changes occurs
– All processes cause increases in disorder as energy
is lost

Energy is carried by molecules

A.T.P. Adenosine TriPhosphate
Energy molecule found in all living organisms
Adenine Base with three Phosphate groups
Breaking the phosphate-phosphate bond
releases stored energy to be used by to the
cell
ATP is rechargeable (Fig. 5-9)
ATP in action
ATP Synthase
• Turns ADP + Pi into ATP
• Energy comes from H+ that are
pumped across a membrane then
move through a channel in ATP
synthase
Reactions Require Energy
• Activation Energy increases the kinetic energy of
molecules
• More movement increases the likelihood of
collisions.
• Enzymes lower the activation energy of a reaction
Enzymes are Protein Catalysts
• Catalysts are not used up in the reaction
• Each enzyme performs a specific reaction.
• Enzymes end in “ase” (ex: catalase)
How do enzymes work?
• Reactants (Substrate) bind to enzyme’s active
site
• “Induced Fit” Hypothesis
Induced Fit (5.9)
Multiple enzymes create metabolic
pathways which can produce a
variety of products (NIB)
Enzyme Regulation
• Enzymes can be inhibited by molecules
blocking the active site
• Allosteric regulation: secondary site regulates
enzyme
• Enzymes can be inhibited by negative
feedback
Enzyme control (5.10)
If an enzyme changes, substrates
are unable to bind.
• The enzyme is denatured
– Increased Heat
– Change pH
• Enzymes perform within a narrow
temperature and pH range.
Diffusion
• Molecules move randomly through a fluid
because of their kinetic energy.
• Net movement is from areas of high
concentration to areas of low concentration
• This high -> low movement occurs until the
concentration is equal throughout
(equilibrium).
Membrane proteins (5.11)
Transport Across Membranes
• Diffusion - movement of molecules from high
concentration to low concentration.
• Equilibrium is reached and the concentration
on both sides remain constant
• In cells transport can be
– Simple – move straight through membrane
– Facilitated – passes through channel or carrier
proteins
Diffusion Through a Membrane
Osmosis
• Diffusion of free water across membrane
• Moves from low concentration of salts to high
concentration – think slugs
• Osmosis controlled to maintain cell size and
shape
Free water molecules diffuse
through a membrane
Isotonic solution
• Salt concentration is the same
inside and outside of a cell.
• Net movement of water is zero.
Hypertonic solution
• Salt concentration is higher outside
the cell.
• Net movement of water is out of
the cell.
Hypotonic solution
• Salt concentration is lower outside
the cell.
• Net movement of water is into the
cell.
Active Transport (5.16)
• Maintains high concentration.
• Requires energy (ATP) to move molecules.
Endocytosis
• Cell membrane engulfs molecules/
microorganisms
• Vesicles carry material where they are broken
down
Exocytosis –5.18
Vesicles release molecules
Receptor Proteins Play a Role in
Cell Communication
