Study Notes

Definitions and Concepts

Aerobic refers to processes or reactions that occur in the presence of oxygen.
Anaerobic indicates processes or reactions that occur without oxygen.
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is produced by mitochondria and serves as a primary energy carrier in cells.
Tetrahedral describes the bonding arrangement of carbon atoms, resulting in a three-dimensional shape.
Cellulose is classified as a macromolecule, which plays a vital role in plant structure.
Chromatin is a supramolecular complex composed of DNA and protein, organizing genetic material in eukaryotic cells.
Closed systems can exchange energy but not matter with their surroundings.
Catabolism denotes degradative reactions that yield free energy through the breakdown of complex molecules.

Reactions and Energy

Nucleotides are the monomeric subunits that make up DNA, essential for genetic information storage.
Endergonic reactions absorb energy from their surroundings, often requiring energy input to proceed.
Exergonic reactions release energy, making it available for other processes.
Facultative anaerobes thrive in both oxygen-rich and oxygen-limited environments, adapting to available resources.
Interactions between biomolecules are described as stereospecific, highlighting the importance of three-dimensional arrangements.

Systems and Thermodynamics

Isolated systems do not exchange energy or matter with their environment.
Macromolecules are primarily joined by noncovalent interactions, affecting their structure and function.
Mitochondria convert fuels into ATP through oxidation processes, essential for cellular energy supply.
Obligate anaerobes are organisms that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen.
Open systems can exchange both energy and matter, allowing interactions with their environment.
Phototrophs derive energy from sunlight, utilizing photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy.

Chemical Reaction Types

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in drug metabolism and lipid synthesis, playing a role in detoxification and membrane production.
Anabolism signifies synthetic reactions that require an input of energy, building complex molecules from simpler ones.
Endothermic reactions absorb heat, while exothermic reactions release heat during chemical processes.

Laws of Thermodynamics

The first law of thermodynamics states energy may change forms, but the total amount remains constant in the universe.
The second law of thermodynamics asserts that total entropy, a measure of disorder, is continually increasing in the universe.

Thermodynamic Properties

Enthalpy is negative for processes that release heat and positive for those that absorb heat.
Entropy is negative for reactions that decrease randomness and positive for those that increase randomness.
Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same chemical formula and bonding structure but differ in the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms.
