6.1 Energy Is Central to Life
5
Energy Is Central to Life All living things require energy. The sun is the ultimate source of energy for most living things. The sun’s energy is captured on Earth by photosynthesizing organisms, which then pass this energy on to other organisms in the form of food.
6
6.2 The Nature of Energy
7
What is energy? Energy can be defined as the capacity to bring about movement against an opposing force. - capacity to do work
8
Forms of Energy Energy can be conceptualized as either potential energy, meaning stored energy; or kinetic energy, meaning energy in motion.
9
Energy Conversions Only ~1% of energy released by the sun that earth receives is captured and converted by plants. Converted into chemical bond energy What happens to the other 99%? Mostly transformed into heat
10
Thermodynamics - study of energy First Law of Thermodynamics Energy can never be created or destroyed. It can only change forms. Second Law of Thermodynamics Energy transfer will always result in a greater amount of disorder in the universe. (ENTROPY) Every conversion of energy includes the transformation of some energy into heat.
11
ENTROPY A measure of the amount of disorder in a system The greater the entropy, the greater the disorder.

6.3 How Is Energy Used by Living Things?
14
How Is Energy Used by Living Things? Living things can bring about local increases in order through their metabolic processes. – build up larger molecules from smaller ones – They can, for example, build up more-ordered molecules (starches, proteins) from less ordered molecules (simple sugars, amino acids). However, it takes energy to do this.
15
Product (glycogen) contains more energy than the reactants (glucose) Product (glucose) contains less energy than the reactants (glycogen) endergonic reaction energy in glycogen molecule exergonic reaction energy out glucose molecules Figure 6.4 Energy Stored and Released
16
Endergonic and Exergonic Reactions Exergonic – breaking down molecules releases energy – starting set of molecules (reactants) have more energy than final set of molecules (products) – Energy is created by taking those molecules apart Endergonic –products have more energy than reactants – Energy is used to build molecules Coupled
17
ATP The molecule most often used in living things to power coupled reactions is ATP.

24
Enzymes are proteins that initiate and speed up chemical reactions (rate of reaction)

6.6 Enzymes and the Activation Barrier
28
Figure 6.9 Enzymes accelerate chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy (a) Without enzyme lactoseglucose + galactose activation energy without enzyme net energy released from splitting of lactose (b) With enzyme glucose + galactose lactose activation energy with enzyme net energy released lactase
29
Enzymes Accelerate Chemical Reactions Enzymes are catalysts. They bring about a change in their substrates without being chemically altered themselves.
30
Enzymes Accelerate Chemical Reactions Enzymes generally have a pocket into which the substrate fits. This pocket is the active site—that portion of an enzyme that binds with a substrate, thus helping transform it. SUBSTRATE
31
Substrate Binding – a little help from our friends In some cases, substrate binding is facilitated by coenzymes: molecules other than amino acids that facilitate the work of enzymes by binding with them
32
Coenzyme Accessory molecules Bind with enzymes Sit in the active site and chemically attract or repulse substrates Example: B vitamins
33
6.7 Regulating Enzymatic Activity
34
The rate at which an enzyme catalyzes a reaction is influenced by several chemical and physical factors. 1.Enzyme and substrate concentration 2.Temperature (optimal) 3.pH 4.Inhibitors or activators a.Competitive Inhibition b.Allosteric
