SLIDES
To run the animations you must be in
Slideshow View. Use the buttons on the
animation to play, pause, and turn audio/text
on or off. Please note: once you have used
any of the animation functions (such as Play or
Pause), you must first click in the white

Energy and Metabolism
SWBAT:
• Explain enzyme function by their lowering activation
energy.
• Demonstrate the catalytic cycle of an enzyme: how the
enzyme is not permanently altered and how a product is
produced from substrate(s).
• Report how various factors that affect enzyme function:
enzyme concentration, substrate concentration,
temperature, pH, salinity, competitive and non-competitive
inhibitors, activators.
• Explain how enzymes can be regulated through feedback
inhibition.
• Illustrate the structure of the ATP (or GTP) molecule.
• Explain how the structure of ATP enables it to transfer
2
energy within the cell.
Flow of Energy
•
Thermodynamics
–
•
Branch of chemistry concerned with energy
changes
Cells are governed by the laws of
physics and chemistry
3
• Energy – capacity to do work
– 2 states
1. Kinetic – energy of motion
2. Potential – stored energy
– Many forms – mechanical, heat, sound,
electric current, light, or radioactivity
– Heat the most convenient way of measuring
energy
•
1 calorie = heat required to raise 1 gram of water 1ºC
•
calorie or Calorie?
4
Weeeeee!
5
• Energy flows into the biological world from
the sun
• Photosynthetic organisms capture this
energy
• Stored as potential energy in chemical
bonds
6
Redox reactions
• Oxidation
– Atom or molecule loses an electron
• Reduction
– Atom or molecule gains an electron
– Higher level of energy than oxidized form
• Oxidation-reduction reactions (redox)
– Reactions always paired
7
8
Laws of thermodynamics
• First law of thermodynamics
– Energy cannot be created or destroyed
– Can only change from one form to another
– Total amount of energy in the universe
remains constant
– During each conversion, some energy is lost
as heat
9
• Second law of thermodynamics
– Entropy (disorder) is continuously increasing
– Energy transformations proceed
spontaneously to convert matter from a more
ordered/ less stable form to a less ordered/
more stable form
10
11
Free energy
• G = Energy available to do work
• G = H – TS
 H = enthalpy, energy in a molecule’s chemical
bonds
 T = absolute temperature
 S = entropy, unavailable energy
12
ΔG = ΔH - TS
• ΔG = change in free energy
• Positive ΔG
– Products have more free energy than
reactants
– H is higher or S is lower
– Not spontaneous, Requires input of
energy
– Endergonic
• Negative ΔG
– Products have less free energy than
reactants
– H is lower or S is higher or both
– Spontaneous (may not be
instantaneous)
– Exergonic
13
Activation energy
• Extra energy required to
destabilize existing bonds and
initiate a chemical reaction
• Exergonic reaction’s rate
depends on the activation energy
required
– Larger activation energy
proceeds more slowly
• Rate can be increased 2 ways
1.
2.
Increasing energy of reacting
molecules (heating)
Lowering activation energy
14
Catalysts
• Substances that influence chemical bonds
in a way that lowers activation energy
• Cannot violate laws of thermodynamics
– Cannot make an endergonic reaction
spontaneous
• Do not alter the proportion of reactant
turned into product

Animation: How Enzymes Work
Please note that due to differing
operating systems, some animations
will not appear until the presentation is
viewed in Presentation Mode (Slide
Show view). You may see blank slides
in the “Normal” or “Slide Sorter” views.
All animations will appear after viewing
in Presentation Mode and playing each
animation. Most animations will require
the latest version of the Flash Player,
which is available at
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
17
ATP
• Adenosine triphosphate
• Chief “currency” all cells
use
• Composed of
– Ribose – 5 carbon sugar
– Adenine
– Chain of 3 phosphates
•
•
•
•
Key to energy storage
Bonds are unstable
ADP – 2 phosphates
AMP – 1 phosphate –
lowest energy form
18
ATP cycle
• ATP hydrolysis drives endergonic
reactions
– Coupled reaction results in net –ΔG
(exergonic and spontaneous)
• ATP not suitable for long term energy
storage
– Fats and carbohydrates better
– Cells store only a few seconds worth of ATP
19
20
Enzymes
• Most enzymes are protein
– Some are RNA
• Shape of enzyme stabilizes a temporary
association between substrates
• Enzyme not changed or consumed in
reaction
• Carbonic anhydrase
– 200 molecules of carbonic acid per hour made
without enzyme
– 600,000 molecules formed per second with enzyme
21
Active site
•
•
•
•
Pockets or clefts for substrate binding
Forms enzyme-substare complex
Precise fit of substrate into active site
Applies stress to distort particular bond to
lower activation energy
– Induced fit
22
23
24
• Enzymes may be suspended in the
cytoplasm or attached to cell membranes
and organelles
• Multienzyme complexes – subunits work
together to form molecular machine
– Product can be delivered easily to next
enzyme
– Unwanted side reactions prevented
– All reactions an be controlled as a unit
25
Enzyme Action
• Metabolic pathways
• Series of enzyme-controlled reactions leading to formation of a
product
• Each new substrate is the product of the previous reaction

Enzyme C

4
Enzyme D
• Enzyme names commonly:
• Reflect the substrate
• Have the suffix – ase
• Examples: sucrase, lactase, protease, lipase
Product
26
Nonprotein enzymes
• Ribozymes
• 1981 discovery that certain reactions
catalyzed in cells by RNA molecule itself
1.2 kinds
1. Intramolecular catalysis – catalyze reaction
on RNA molecule itself
2. Intermolecular catalysis – RNA acts on
another molecule
27
Enzyme function
• Rate of enzyme-catlyzed reaction depends
on concentrations of substrate and
enzyme
• Any chemical or physical condition that
affects the enzyme’s 3 dimensional shape
can change rate
– Optimum temperature
– Optimum pH
28
29
Inhibitors
• Inhibitor – substance that binds to enzyme
and decreases its activity
• Competitive inhibitor
– Competes with substrate for active site
• Noncompetitive inhibitor
– Binds to enzyme at a site other than active
site
– Causes shape change that makes enzyme
unable to bind substrate
30
31
Allostery
• Allosteric enzymes – enzymes exist in
active and inactive forms
• Most noncompetitive inhibitors bind to
allosteric site – chemical on/off switch
• Allosteric inhibitor – binds to allosteric site
and reduces enzyme activity
• Allosteric activator – binds to allosteric site
and increases enzyme activity
32
Metabolism
• Total of all chemical reactions carried out
by an organism
• Anabolic reactions / anabolism
– Expend energy to build up molecules
• Catabolic reactions/ catabolism
– Harvest energy by breaking down molecules
33
Biochemical pathways
• Reactions occur in a sequence
• Product of one reaction is the substrate for
the next
• Many steps take place in organelles
34
35
Feedback inhibition
• End-product of pathway binds to an
allosteric site on enzyme that catalyses
first reaction in pathway
• Shuts down pathway so raw materials and
energy are not wasted
