Forms of EnergyForms of Energy

These forms of energy are important to life:– chemical– radiant (examples: heat, light)– mechanical– electrical

Energy can be transformed from one form to another.

Chemical energy is the energy contained in the chemical bonds of molecules.

Radiant energy travels in waves and is sometimes called electromagnetic energy. An example is visible light.

Photosynthesis converts light energy to chemical energy.

Energy that is stored is called potential energy.

Menu5

Laws of ThermodynamicsLaws of Thermodynamics

1st law: Energy cannot be created or destroyed.– Energy can be converted from one form to another.

The sum of the energy before the conversion is equal to the sum of the energy after the conversion.

– Example: A light bulb converts electrical energy to light energy and heat energy. Fluorescent bulbs produce more light energy than incandescent bulbs because they produce less heat.

2nd law: Some usable energy dissipates during transformations and is lost.– During changes from one form of energy to another,

some usable energy dissipates, usually as heat. The amount of usable energy therefore decreases.

Chemiosmotic PhosphorylationChemiosmotic Phosphorylation

Chemiosmotic phosphorylation (previous slide) is used by the mitochondrion to produce ATP. The energy needed to initially pump H+ ions into the intermembrane space comes from glucose. The entire process is called cellular respiration and will be discussed in a later chapter.

The chloroplast also produces ATP by chemiosmotic phosphorylation. The energy needed to produce ATP comes from sunlight.

Menu31

Chloroplast StructureChloroplast Structure

The chloroplast is surrounded by a double membrane.

Molecules that absorb light energy (photosynthetic pigments) are located on disk-shaped structures called thylakoids.

Chemiosmotic PhosphorylationChemiosmotic Phosphorylation

ATP synthase produces ATP by phosphorylating ADP. The energy comes from hydrogen ions forcing their way into the stroma as they pass through the ATP synthase under pressure (osmotic pressure).

Osmotic pressure forces hydrogen ions through this protein (ATP synthase) as they return to the stroma.

Menu35


We have just discussed two different forms of phosphorylation:– Substrate-level phosphorylation– Chemiosmotic phosphorylation

We saw that chemiosmotic phosphorylation occurred in both the mitochondria (during cellular respiration) and in the chloroplast (during photosynthesis). These two processes are sometimes given separate names:– Oxidative phosphorylation (in mitochondria)– Photophosphorylation (in chloroplast)

Catabolic and Anabolic ReactionsCatabolic and Anabolic Reactions

The energy-producing reactions within cells generally involve the breakdown of complex organic compounds to simpler compounds. These reactions release energy and are called catabolic reactions.

Anabolic reactions are those that consume energy while synthesizing compounds.

ATP produced by catabolic reactions provides the energy for anabolic reactions. Anabolic and catabolic reactions are therefore coupled (they work together) through the use of ATP.

Menu44

EnzymesEnzymes

Catalysts are substances that speed up chemical reactions. Organic catalysts (contain carbon) are called enzymes.

Enzymes are specific for one particular reaction or group of related reactions.

Many reactions cannot occur without the correct enzyme present.

They are often named by adding "ase" to the name of the substrate. Example: Dehydrogenases are enzymes that remove hydrogen.

Menu45

Induced Fit TheoryInduced Fit Theory

An enzyme-substrate complex forms when the enzyme’s active site binds with the substrate like a key fitting a lock.

The substrate molecule does not fit exactly in the active site. This induces a change in the enzymes conformation (shape) to make a closer fit.

After the reaction, the products are released and the enzyme returns to its normal shape.

Only a small amount of enzyme is needed because they can be used repeatedly.

Menu46

Rate of ReactionRate of Reaction

Reactions with enzymes are up to 10 billion times faster than those without enzymes.

Enzymes typically react with between 1 and 10,000 molecules per second. Fast enzymes catalyze up to 500,000 molecules per second.

Substrate concentration, enzyme concentration, Temperature, and pH affect the rate of enzyme reactions.

Menu47

Substrate ConcentrationSubstrate Concentration

At lower concentrations, the active sites on most of the enzyme molecules are not filled because there is not much substrate. Higher concentrations cause more collisions between the molecules. With more molecules and collisions, enzymes are more likely to encounter molecules of reactant.

The maximum velocity of a reaction is reached when the active sites are almost continuously filled. Increased substrate concentration after this point will not increase the rate. Reaction rate therefore increases as substrate concentration is increased but it levels off.

Menu48

Enzyme ConcentrationEnzyme Concentration

If there is insufficient enzyme present, the reaction will not proceed as fast as it otherwise would because there is not enough enzyme for all of the reactant molecules.

As the amount of enzyme is increased, the rate of reaction increases. If there are more enzyme molecules than are needed, adding additional enzyme will not increase the rate. Reaction rate therefore increases as enzyme concentration increases but then it levels off.

Temperature

Enzymes denature when the temperature gets too high. The rate of reaction decreases as the enzyme becomes nonfunctional.

Menu52

TemperatureTemperature

Higher temperature causes more collisions between the atoms, ions, molecules, etc. It therefore increases the rate of a reaction. More collisions increase the likelihood that substrate will collide with the active site of the enzyme.

Above a certain temperature, activity begins to decline because the enzyme begins to denature (unfold).

The rate of chemical reactions therefore increases with temperature but then decreases.

DenaturationDenaturation

If the hydrogen bonds within an enzyme are broken, the enzyme may unfold or take on a different shape. The enzyme is denatured.

A denatured enzyme will not function properly because the shape of the active site has changed.

If the denaturation is not severe, the enzyme may regain its original shape and become functional.

The following will cause denaturation:– Heat– Changes in pH– Heavy-metal ions (lead, arsenic, mercury)– Alcohol– UV radiation

Menu55

pHpH

Each enzyme has an optimal pH. Pepsin, an enzyme found in the stomach, functions best at a low pH. Trypsin, found in the intestine, functions best at a neutral pH.

A change in pH can alter the ionization of the R groups of the amino acids. When the charges on the amino acids change, hydrogen bonding within the protein molecule change and the molecule changes shape. The new shape may not be effective.

The diagram shows that pepsin functions best in an acid environment. This makes sense because pepsin is an enzyme that is normally found in the stomach where the pH is low due to the presence of hydrochloric acid. Trypsin is found in the duodenum (small intestine), and therefore, its optimum pH is in the neutral range to match the pH of the duodenum.

Regulation of EnzymesRegulation of Enzymes

The next several slides illustrate how cells regulate enzymes. For example, it may be necessary to decrease the activity of certain enzymes if the cell no longer needs the product produced by the enzymes.

Menu60


Enzymes are proteins. Recall the central dogma:

DNA mRNA Proteins

Proteins can be regulated by making more or less of them as needed. The topic of regulating protein synthesis (manufacture) is deferred to a later chapter.

Menu65

Noncompetitive InhibitionNoncompetitive Inhibition

Another form of inhibition involves an inhibitor that binds to an allosteric site of an enzyme. An allosteric site is a different location than the active site.

The binding of an inhibitor to the allosteric site alters the shape of the enzyme, resulting in a distorted active site that does not function properly.

Menu66

Noncompetitive InhibitionNoncompetitive Inhibition

The binding of an inhibitor to an allosteric site is usually temporary. Poisons are inhibitors that bind irreversibly. For example, penicillin inhibits an enzyme needed by bacteria to build the cell wall. Bacteria growing (reproducing) without producing cell walls eventually rupture.

In this example of feedback inhibition, heat (the product) inhibits its production. This keeps the temperature constant.

This atom served as an energy carrier. It picked up an electron from the atom on the left and gave it to the one on the right.

Menu77

Oxidation and ReductionOxidation and Reduction

Oxidation is the loss of electrons or hydrogen atoms. Oxidation reactions release energy.

Reduction is gain of electrons or hydrogen atoms and is associated with a gain of energy.

Oxidation and reduction occur together. When a molecule is oxidized, another must be reduced.

These coupled reactions are called oxidation-reduction or redox reactions.

Food is highly reduced (has many hydrogens). The chemical pathways in cells that produce energy for the cell oxidize the food (remove hydrogens), producing ATP.

Menu78

CofactorsCofactors

Many enzymes require a cofactor to assist in the reaction. These "assistants" are nonprotein and may be metal ions such as magnesium (Mg++), potassium (K+), and calcium (Ca++).

The cofactors bind to the enzyme and participate in the reaction by removing electrons, protons , or chemical groups from the substrate.

Menu79

CoenzymesCoenzymes

Cofactors that are organic molecules are coenzymes.

In oxidation-reduction reactions, coenzymes often remove electrons from the substrate and pass them to different enzymes.

In this way, coenzymes serve to carry energy in the form of electrons (or hydrogen atoms) from one compound to another.

Menu80

CoenzymesCoenzymes

Coenzymes are cofactors that are not protein.

They bind to the enzyme and also participate in the reaction by carrying electrons or hydrogen atoms.

NAD+ functions in cellular respiration by carrying two electrons. With two electrons, it becomes NADH.

NAD+ oxidizes its substrate by removing two hydrogen atoms. One of the hydrogen atoms bonds to the NAD+. The electron from the other hydrogen atom remains with the NADH molecule but the proton (H+) is released.

NAD+ + 2H NADH + H+

NADH can donate two electrons (one of them is a hydrogen atom) to another molecule.
