Chapter Objectives:
Metabolism, Energy, and Life
1. Explain
the role of catabolic and anabolic pathways in cellular metabolism.
2.
Distinguish between kinetic and potential energy.
3. Explain
why an organism is considered an open system.
4. Explain
the first and second laws of thermodynamics in your own words.
5. Explain
why highly ordered living organisms do not violate the second law of
thermodynamics.
6. Write and
define each component of the equation for free-energy change.
7.
Distinguish between exergonic and endergonic reactions in terms of free energy
change.
8. Explain
why metabolic disequilibrium is one of the defining features of life.
9. List the
three main kinds of cellular work. Explain in general terms how cells obtain
the energy to do cellular work.
10. Describe the
structure of ATP and identify the major class of macromolecules to which ATP
belongs.
11. Explain how ATP
performs cellular work.
Enzymes Are Catalytic Proteins
12. Describe the function of enzymes in biological systems.
13. Explain why an investment of activation energy is
necessary to initiate a spontaneous reaction.
14. Explain how enzyme structure
determines enzyme specificity.
15. Explain the induced-fit model of enzyme function.
16. Describe the mechanisms by which enzymes lower
activation energy.
17. Explain how substrate concentration affects the rate of
an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
18. Explain how temperature, pH, cofactors, and enzyme
inhibitors can affect enzyme activity.
The Control of Metabolism
19. Explain how metabolic pathways are regulated.
20. Explain how the location of enzymes in a cell may help
order metabolism
