Cellular Metabolism

Endergonic Reactions
1. Requires net input of energy
2. Yield products rich in potential energy
3. Low energy to high energy
  1. Add phosphate with dehydration reaction
4. Photosynthesis
Exergonic Reactions
1. Releases energy
2. Cellular Respiration
  1. Uses oxygen to convert chemical energy stored in fuel molecules to a form of chemical energy that the cell can use to perform work
  2. Substantial amount of energy released as ATP
    1. ATP = immediate source of energy
    2. Released with hydrolysis reaction
3. Burning
Sum of all chemical reactions occurring within an organism
Energy Coupling
1. Use of energy released from exergonic reactions to power endergonic reactions
Biochemical Reactions
1. Dehydration Reactions
2. Hydrolysis Reaction
3. Require Water
