P 34 Compare and Contrast: Endergonic vs Exergonic 9 October 2019 P 34 Compare and Contrast: Endergonic vs Exergonic P 35 Chemical Reactions
Chemical Reactions
Change one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals Chemical Reactions Change one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals
Chemical Reaction Reactants The “ingredients” Products The “cookies” The elements or compounds that go into a chemical reaction. The “ingredients” Products The elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction. The “cookies”
2 Mg + O2 -----> 2 MgO + energy
Activation Energy The energy needed to start a reaction The “spark” that starts a reaction
Reactants Products
2 H2 + O2 2 H2O Chemical Reaction Reactants Products Hydrogen plus Oxygen Products 2 H2O Water react to form
Energy in Chemical Bonds Exergonic Releases energy Exothermic Breaking bonds releases energy Can occur spontaneously Endergonic Absorbs energy Endothermic Forming bonds absorbs energy
If a reaction in one direction releases energy, the reaction in the opposite direction absorbs energy.
Exergonic Chemical Reaction Reactants 2 H2 + O2 Hydrogen plus Oxygen Products 2 H2O Water react to form
Endergonic Chemical Reaction Reactants 2 H2O Water Products 2 H2 + O2 Hydrogen plus Oxygen can be separated into its components

Catalyst A substance that accelerates the rate of a chemical reaction Lowers a reaction’s activation energy
Enzymes Proteins that act as biological catalysts Reduces activation energy Speed up reactions
Analogy Explain how enzyme activity works like a lock and key.
Catalyzed Reaction Reactants in enzyme catalyzed reaction are called substrates Substrates bind to active site, precise fit Form enzyme-substrate complex Allows reaction to take place with less energy or at a lower temperature Release and enzyme is free to start again
