Study Notes

Energy Sources and Reactions

  • ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy currency molecule utilized in biological reactions.
  • Endergonic reactions are thermodynamically unfavorable and require energy input to proceed.
  • Exergonic reactions release energy, making them thermodynamically favorable.
  • Coupling is the process of linking an exergonic reaction with an endergonic reaction to drive the endergonic reaction forward.
  • The sum of the change in Gibbs free energy ((\Delta G)) for a coupled exergonic and endergonic reaction is zero. This means that the energy released by the exergonic reaction is used to drive the endergonic reaction.
  • ATP plays a crucial role in driving biological reactions by providing the energy needed for endergonic processes like muscle contraction, protein synthesis, and active transport.
