Functions of cells The sum total of all chemical reactions that occur in organisms is called “metabolism” More specifically, building proteins and other products is called anabolism Breaking molecules down is called catabolism Enzymes are used to lower the activation energy for reactions to occur, thereby using less energy Remember, enzymes catalyze specific reactions

© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. SOME BASIC ENERGY CONCEPTS Energy makes the world go around. But what is energy? We need to discuss energy because that’s what cells use to run themselves and ultimately the organism which they comprise The first rule of energy is: ENERGY CAN NEITHER BE CREATED NOR DESTROYED – this is known as a principle called “conservation of energy” So what does that mean? Well, the suggestion is that the Universe has all of the energy that it will ever have, no more, no less.
4
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Conservation of Energy Energy is defined as the capacity to perform work. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Potential energy is stored energy.
5
Climbing the steps converts kinetic energy of muscle movement to potential energy. On the platform, the diver has more potential energy. Diving converts potential energy to kinetic energy. In the water, the diver has less potential energy. Figure 5.1
6
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Machines and organisms can transform kinetic energy to potential energy and vice versa. In all such energy transformations, total energy is conserved. –Energy cannot be created or destroyed. –This is the principle of conservation of energy.
7
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Remember calories? The small calorie or gram calorie (symbol: cal) is the approximate amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. The large calorie, kilogram calorie, dietary calorie, nutritionist's calorie, nutritional calorie, Calorie (capital C) or food calorie (symbol: Cal) is approximately the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. The large calorie is thus equal to 1000 small calories or one kilocalorie (symbol: kcal). These are food calories on food labels So ten kilocalories are equivalent to how many calories?
8
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Cellular Respiration Cellular Respiration (covered in next chapter) is the process of converting the energy stored in food molecules to energy stored in ATP An adaptation of animal cells for increasing the surface area for more cellular respiration to occur is the cristae of a mitochondria
9
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Entropy Every energy conversion releases some randomized energy in the form of heat. Entropy is a scientific concept that measures disorder: the higher the entropy, the higher the disorder. Unless energy is added, entropy will take over and the energy in the system will decrease. It’s like a log decaying in the woods. Heat is a –Type of kinetic energy –Product of all energy conversions
10
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Scientists use the term entropy as a measure of disorder, or randomness. All energy conversions increase the entropy of the universe. This is theory of course and recent advancements in physics tend to support an alternate theory that order dominates the universe, not randomness. However, just focus on entropy and just remember that there are other ideas out there and lots for you to discover
11
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Chemical Energy Molecules store varying amounts of potential energy in the arrangement of their atoms. (in the bonds between molecules or atoms) Organic compounds are relatively rich in such chemical energy.
12
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Living cells and automobile engines use the same basic process to make chemical energy do work.

Fuel rich in chemical energy Energy conversion Waste products poor in chemical energy Gasoline Oxygen Carbon dioxide Water Energy conversion in a car Energy for cellular work Energy conversion in a cell Heat energy Heat energy Carbon dioxide Water Food Oxygen Combustion Cellular respiration Kinetic energy of movement ATP Figure 5.2
14
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Cellular respiration is the energy-releasing chemical breakdown of fuel molecules that provides energy for cells to do work. Humans convert about 40% of the energy in food to perform useful work, such as the contraction of muscles and sending action potentials (electrical currents) in nerves Do you remember carbohydrates? Well, carbohydrates come from plants. Photosynthesis in particular. They take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere along with water and sunlight, and make fruits and vegetables! Whoa!
15
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Food Calories A calorie is the amount of energy that raises the temperature of one gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. Food Calories are kilocalories, equal to 1,000 calories.

© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. ATP AND CELLULAR WORK Chemical energy is –Released by the breakdown of organic molecules during cellular respiration –Used to generate molecules of ATP
18
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. ATP is a nucleotide! Oh yeah, I know what that is. –Acts like an energy shuttle –Stores energy obtained from food –Releases it later as needed
19

© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Induced Fit Every enzyme is very selective, catalyzing a specific reaction.
27
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Each enzyme recognizes a substrate, a specific reactant molecule. –The active site fits to the substrate, and the enzyme changes shape slightly. –This interaction is called induced fit. Enzymes can function over and over again, a key characteristic of enzymes.

32
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Enzyme Inhibitors Enzyme inhibitors can prevent metabolic reactions by binding to the active site. An enzyme inhibitor is a molecule that binds to an enzyme and decreases its activity. Since blocking an enzyme's activity can kill a pathogen or correct a metabolic imbalance, many drugs are enzyme inhibitors. They are also used in pesticides.

37
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Passive Transport: Diffusion across Membranes Molecules contain heat energy that causes them to vibrate and wander randomly. Diffusion is the tendency for molecules of any substance to spread out into the available space.
38
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Passive transport is the diffusion of a substance across a membrane without the input of energy. Diffusion is an example of passive transport. Substances diffuse down their concentration gradient, a region in which the substance’s density changes. Watch This: http://youtu.be/LeS2-6zHn6Mhttp://youtu.be/LeS2-6zHn6M

© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Some substances do not cross membranes spontaneously. –These substances can be transported via facilitated diffusion. –Specific transport proteins act as selective corridors. –No energy input is needed.
41
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Osmosis and Water Balance The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane is osmosis. If diffusion is the movement of a solute, osmosis is the movement of water (solvent)

44
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solute. A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solute. An isotonic solution has an equal concentration of solute.
45
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Osmoregulation is the control of water balance within a cell or organism. Most animal cells require an isotonic environment. Water Balance in Animal Cells
46
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Plant have rigid cell walls. Plant cells require a hypotonic environment, which keeps these walled cells turgid. Watch this: http://youtu.be/rMGH1-mpp8ghttp://youtu.be/rMGH1-mpp8g Water Balance in Plant Cells

Exocytosis and Endocytosis: Traffic of Large Molecules Exocytosis is the secretion of large molecules within vesicles. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
54
Outside of cell Cytoplasm Plasma membrane Figure 5.17
55
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Endocytosis takes material into a cell within vesicles that bud inward from the plasma membrane.
56
Figure 5.18
57
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. There are three types of endocytosis: –Phagocytosis (“cellular eating”); a cell engulfs a particle and packages it within a food vacuole. Ex: the act of a white blood cell engulfing a bacteria is phagocytosis –Pinocytosis (“cellular drinking”); a cell “gulps” droplets of fluid by forming tiny vesicles –Receptor-mediated endocytosis; a cell takes in very specific molecules
58
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The Role of Membranes in Cell Signaling The plasma membrane helps convey signals between –Cells –Cells and their environment
59
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Receptors on a cell surface trigger signal transduction pathways that –Relay the signal –Convert it to chemical forms that can function within the cell –Watch this: http://youtu.be/qOVkedxDqQohttp://youtu.be/qOVkedxDqQo
