Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- A chemical equation summarizes the changes that occur in a chemical reaction.
- Metabolism encompasses all chemical reactions within a living organism.
- Chemical reactions involve the formation and breaking of chemical bonds.
- Reactants are the substances present before a reaction occurs.
- Synthesis is represented by the equation A + B → AB.
Classification of Reactions
- Reactions can be classified based on changes in chemical structure.
- Decomposition reactions occur when a large molecule breaks down into smaller ones.
- Chemical reactions are characterized by the breaking of existing bonds and the formation of new ones.
- Criteria for classifying reactions include changes in chemical energy, structure, and the ability to reverse.
Enzyme Action
- Enzyme action follows a specific sequence:
- Substrate binds to the enzyme's active site.
- Enzyme structure changes to fit the substrate (induced fit).
- Bonds in the substrate are stressed and broken.
- New bonds are formed, resulting in the product.
- The product is then released from the enzyme.
Energy in Reactions
- Reactions can be categorized based on energy:
- Exergonic reactions release energy.
- Endergonic reactions require energy input.
Enzyme Types
- Oxidoreductase enzymes transfer electrons between substances.
- Transferase enzymes transfer functional groups.
- Hydrolase enzymes split chemical bonds using water.
- Isomerase enzymes convert one isomer into another.
- Ligase enzymes bond two molecules together.
- Lyase enzymes split chemical bonds without the use of water.
Radiant Energy
- Forms of radiant energy include ultraviolet light, visible light, and radio waves.
Catabolism
- Catabolism refers to all decomposition reactions occurring in an organism.
Enzymes as Catalysts
- Enzymes act as catalysts, lowering activation energy and increasing reaction rates.
Glucose Oxidation Stages
- Glucose oxidation occurs in four stages:
- Glycolysis
- Intermediate stage
- Citric acid cycle
- Electron transport system
