    Study Notes

    Energy and Reactions

    • Potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position or state, such as a rock perched on a hill.
    • An exergonic reaction releases energy, for example, the breakdown of glucose during cellular respiration.
    • Endergonic reactions require energy input, such as photosynthesis, where light energy is absorbed to form glucose.

    Enzymes

    • Enzymes serve as biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required.
    • They are specific to substrates and are vital for various metabolic processes.

    Metabolic Pathways

    • Anabolic pathways involve the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones, such as protein synthesis from amino acids.
    • Catabolic pathways break down complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy, like glucose catabolism during glycolysis.

    Thermodynamics

    • The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

    Glycolysis

    • The final product of glycolysis is pyruvate, which is produced from the breakdown of glucose.

    Citric Acid Cycle

    • The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, occurs in the mitochondria and is crucial for producing energy carriers such as NADH and FADH2 from acetyl-CoA.

    Cellular Respiration

    • Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen and produces less energy than aerobic respiration, which requires oxygen for efficient energy production.
    • Lactic acid fermentation, a type of anaerobic respiration, occurs in muscle cells and some bacteria, producing lactic acid as a byproduct.

    Summary of Processes

    • Aerobic respiration involves the complete oxidation of glucose in the presence of oxygen, generating ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
    • Anaerobic respiration leads to energy production without oxygen, resulting in byproducts like lactic acid or ethanol, depending on the organism.
