2. What is Bioenergetics?
The study of
energy in living
systems
(environments)
and the
organisms
(plants and
animals) that
utilize them



Chemical reaction that
requires a net input of
energy.



Chemical reactions that
releases energy


Anabolic
Pathways

12. Anabolic Pathway


Metabolic reactions, which
consume energy (endergonic), to
build complicated molecules from
simpler compounds.

13. Catabolic Pathway


Metabolic reactions which release
energy (exergonic) by breaking
down complex molecules in simpler
compounds

Components:
1. adenine: nitrogenous base
2. ribose: five carbon sugar
3.phosphate group: chain of 3

16. Adenosine Triphosphate


Three
phosphate
groups-(two
with high
energy bonds
Last phosphate
group (PO4)
contains the
MOST energy

17. Breaking the Bonds of ATP



Process is called
phosphorylation
Occurs continually
in cells
Enzyme ATP-ase
can weaken &
break last PO4
bond releasing
energy & free PO4

18. How does ATP work ?


Organisms use enzymes to
break down energy-rich
glucose to release its
potential energy
This energy is trapped and
stored in the form of
adenosine triphosphate(ATP)

19. How Much ATP Do Cells Use?

It is estimated
that each cell
will generate
and consume
approximately
10,000,000
molecules of
ATP per second

20. Coupled Reaction - ATP

The exergonic
hydrolysis of ATP
is coupled with
the endergonic
dehydration
H2O
process by
transferring a
phosphate group
to another
H2O
molecule.
