(osmosis)  Ion channels: regulated in response to as key stimulus (gated channels) serves a  Carrier proteins: bind to specific protein to transport them; shape will change to allow - - - molecules to pass Osmosis Occurs in aqueous solutions = solvent (water) + solutes (amino acids, ions, sugars) Osmosis = diffusion of water towards higher solute concentration Osmotic concentration: / determined by concentration of all solutes in solution  Hypotonic = solution with lower osmotic concentration  Isotonic = equal osmotic concentration  Hypertonic = solution with higher e osmotic concentration - Osmosis Osmotic pressure = force needed to stop osmosis Many cells are in hypertonic environment, have strategies to adapt  Extrusion = expel water via contractile vacuole  Isosmotic regulation = match solute concentration to environment  Turgor = hydrostatic pressure against cell wall Passive transport Active transport Uses energy (ATP) to transport ions/molecules across membrane against concentration gradient  Na+/K+ pump Na+ / K+ pump Na+ / K+ pump https://www.amoebasisters.com/gifs.html Coupled transport Concentration gradient generated by active transport  Involves two or more transporters Bulk transport Large molecules can’t cross membrane by diffusion or transport protein  Proteins and polysaccharides Bult#transport = packaged in vesicles and requires energy Endocytosis Endocytosis = molecules enter cells within vesicles that pinch inward from the plasma membrane  Phagocytosis = large particle or cell  Pinocytosis = liquids and small solutes  Receptor mediated endocytosis = receptor binds to ligand Cellular Respiration Respiration follows thermodynamics Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred Energy usually released as heat Negative (-) ΔG = exergonic reaction Spontaneously Positive (+) ΔG = endergonic reaction Enzymes lower activation energy Control nearly all biological reactions Enzymes Made of proteins and https://www.nature.com/ apoproteins articles/nrd2353  Apoprotein = polypeptide part of a protein Can have a cofactor = additional chemical component required for function  Inorganic

Increase rate of reaction significantly by lowering activation energy makesthina  Biological catalysts Require optimum environment  Work best at specific temperature and pH conditions  Cease to function if conditions get too extreme Enzyme function Serve as biological catalyst  Increases the rate (speed) of a chemical reaction without being consumed Decreases activation energy (EA)  Energy required to get a reaction going https://youtu.be/qgVFkRn8f 10 Enzyme function Active site (center) = 3D region where substrates interact with enzyme (pocket) Forms enzyme-substrate complex  changes shape of enzyme slightly This slight change is induced fit  facilitates the breaking of bonds and formation of new ones Enzyme function Regulation to enzymatic activity: Amount of enzyme produced winmnc Regulating metabolic conditions that influence shape of enzyme (remember, shape = function Inhibitors Inhibitors Competitive inhibitor = substance competes with substrate for active sight Allosteric inhibitor = noncatalytic sites to which an allosteric regulator binds and Changee of modifies enzyme activity enzyme > - changes funchon https://youtu.be/6EDBlowVST0 Inhibitors Inhibition can be reversible or permanent A Reversible inhibitor = inhibitor binds 2 to enzyme by weak interactions B Irreversible inhibitor = combines with an enzyme and permanently inactivates it with covalent bonds Feedback inhibition = formation of an end product inhibits an earlier reaction Z in the metabolic pathway * Feedback inhibition Sequence of reaction catalyzed by enzymes Product of Reaction 1 is the substrate for Reaction 2 Product 2 is in turn the substrate for Enzyme 3 Product 3 inhibits an earlier reaction in the metabolic pathway * ATP Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is immediate energy currency of the cell Donates energy by means of terminal phosphate group  Easily transferred to acceptor molecule  Exergonic = releases energy ATP formed by phosphorylation of adenosine diphosphate (ADP)  Endergonic = requires input of energy ATP and ADP ATP and ADP ATP is the common link between exergonic and endergonic reactions Also link between catabolism and anabolism Catabolism = degradation of large complex molecules into smaller, simpler molecules ATP-ADD Anabolism = synthesis of complex molecules from simpler molecules Making ATP 3 mechanisms for ATP production: Substrate level phosphorylation (i.e. glycolysis) Oxidative phosphorylation (i.e. chemiosmosis) Photophosphorylation (i.e. photosynthesis, chemiosmosis) Energy flow Redox reactions & energy flow Energy is transferred in redox reactions  Oxidation = substance gives up one or more e- to another substance SwHer  Reduction = substance that gains one or more e- from another substance Electrons commonly transferred as part of hydrogen atoms  NAD+ and NADP+ accept e- as part of hydrogen atoms and become reduced to form NADH and NADPH, respectively  These e- (along with some of their energy) can be transferred to other acceptors creates electron transport chain Electron transport and energy Electron carriers Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide reduced (NAD + ↔ NADH) oxidized Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD+ ↔ FADH2) Aerobic respiration: an overview Catabolic process where fuel molecule (such as glucose) is broken down to form CO2 and water Cellular oxidation are usually dehydrogenations Water is lost = catabolism Aerobic respiration: an overview Electron carriers play critical role Redox reactions result in transfer of e- from glucose to oxygen = electron transport chain Glucose becomes completely oxidized and oxygen becomes reduced to H2O Reduced e- carriers (NADH and FADH2) supply their electrons to
