MEMBRANE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION 5.10 Membranes organize the chemical activities of cells Membranes provide structural order for metabolism Form most of the cell's organelles Compartmentalize chemical reactions The plasma membrane forms a boundary between a living cell and its surroundings Exhibits selective permeability Controls traffic of molecules in and out
Constituents of membrane LE 5-10 Constituents of membrane Phospholipid + protein + carbohydrate Major components Outside of cell Cytoplasm
5.11 Membrane phospholipids form a bilayer Phospholipids are the main structural components of membranes Two nonpolar hydrophobic fatty acid "tails" One phosphate group attached to the hydrophilic glycerol "head"
Glycerol+2fatty acids+phosphate+alcohol Hydrophilic head Phosphate group Phospholipid Glycerol+2fatty acids+phosphate+alcohol Alcohol: ethanolamine, serine, choline Phospholipid is a amphipathic molecule hydrophilic hydrophobic Symbol Hydrophobic tails
In membranes, phospholipids form a bilayer Two-layer sheet Phospholipid heads facing outward and tails facing inward Selectively permeable Nonolar lipid-soluble molecules pass through Polar molecules not soluble in lipids do not pass through

Simple diffusion : Diffusion through the phospholipid bilayer Small molecule > large molecule Hydrophobic molecule > hydrophilic molecule e.g., O2, CO2 (o) Macromolecules, charged and polar molecules such as amino acids, sugars, ions (X) H2O: 농도가 높아서 느리지만 simple diffusion 가능 2. Facilitated diffusion Diffusion through channel- or carrier proteins
5.15 Transport proteins may facilitate diffusion across membranes In facilitated diffusion Transport proteins that span the membrane bilayer help substances diffuse down a concentration gradient To transport the substance, a transport protein may Provide a pore for passage: channel protein Bind the substance, change shape, and then release the substance: carrier protein

ENERGY AND THE CELL © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 41
5.1 Energy is the capacity to perform work ENERGY AND THE CELL 5.1 Energy is the capacity to perform work Energy is defined as the capacity to do work All organisms require energy to stay alive Energy makes change possible Unit of energy Calorie (cal): water 1 g 을 1C 올리는데 필요한 energy Joule (J): 1 cal = 4.184 J
Kinetic energy : energy of movement Potential energy is stored energy that is dependent on an object's location or structure The most important potential energy for living things is the chemical energy stored in molecules Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy
5.2 Two laws govern energy transformations Thermodynamics is the study of energy transformations system surrounding Closed system: surrounding과 물질과 에너지 교환 x Open system:
The First Law of Thermodynamics Energy can be changed from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed
The Second Law of Thermodynamics Energy transformations increase disorder, or entropy, and some energy is lost as heat Entropy: the amount of disorder in a system Total energy = usable energy + unusable energy H = G + TS H: enthalpy, G: free energy, T: absolute temperature, S: entropy

Cells carry out thousands of chemical reactions, which constitute cellular metabolism Energy coupling uses energy released from exergonic reactions to drive endergonic reactions Anabolism Simple molecule complex molecule Endergonic reaction e.g., synthesis of a protein from amino acids 2. Catabolism Complex molecule simple molecule Exergonic reaction
5.4 ATP shuttles chemical energy and drives cellular work ATP (adenosine triphosphate) powers nearly all forms of cellular work ATP is composed of one adenine, one ribose, and three negatively charged phosphates The energy in an ATP molecule lies in the bonds between its phosphate groups

HOW ENZYMES FUNCTION © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 62
HOW ENZYMES FUNCTION 5.5 Enzymes speed up the cell's chemical reactions by lowering energy barriers Energy of activation Amount of energy that must be input before an exergonic reaction will proceed (the energy barrier)
Enzymes A protein (RNA) molecule that serves as a biological catalyst Increase the rate of a reaction without itself being changed Speed up a reaction by lowering the activation energy Do not change chemical equilibrium Reactants Products Chemical reaction In principle, chemical reactions can run both forward and backward The rate and direction of a reaction depend on [reactants] and [products] At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction = the rate of the backward reaction

5.6 A specific enzyme catalyzes each cellular reaction Each enzyme has a unique three-dimensional shape that determines which chemical reaction it catalyzes Substrate: a specific reactant that an enzyme acts on Active site: A pocket on the enzyme surface that the substrate fits into
A single enzyme may act on thousands or millions of substrate molecules per second H-bond, ionic bond, hydrophobic interaction The enzyme is unchanged and can repeat the process

5.7 The cellular environment affects enzyme activity Physical factors influence enzyme activity Temperature, salt concentration, pH Some enzymes require nonprotein cofactors Metal ions, organic molecules called coenzymes
Temperature Increase in temperature increase in the rate of contact between the substrate and the enzyme Above the optimal temperature: denaturation of the enzyme
5.8 Enzyme inhibitors block enzyme action Inhibitors interfere with an enzyme's activity A competitive inhibitor takes the place of a substrate in the active site A noncompetitive inhibitor alters an enzyme's function by changing its shape In feedback inhibition, enzyme activity is blocked by a product of the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme
