2 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Introduction. living cell is the site of enzyme-catalyzed metabolic reactions that maintain life. 2

3 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Metabolic Reactions. Metabolic reactions are of two types: 1. anabolic reactions, larger molecules are constructed from smaller ones, a process requiring energy. 2. catabolic reactions, larger molecules are broken down, releasing energy. he reactions of metabolism are often reversible. 3

4 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. B. nabolism 1. nabolism provides the substances needed for growth and repair. 2. hese reactions occur by dehydration synthesis, removing a molecule of water to join two smaller molecules. 4

5 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 3. Polysaccharides, lipids, and proteins are constructed via dehydration synthesis. a. o form fats, glycerol and fatty acids bond. b. he bond between two amino acids is a peptide bond; two bound amino acids form a dipeptide, while many joined form a polypeptide. 5

10 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. ontrol of Metabolic Reactions:. Enzymes control the rates of all the metabolic reactions of the cell. B. Enzyme ction 1. Enzymes are complex proteins that function to lower the activation energy of a reaction so it may begin and proceed more rapidly. Enzymes are called catalysts. 10

11 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 2. Enzymes work in small quantities and are recycled by the cell. 3. Each enzyme is specific, acting on only one kind of substrate. 4. ctive sites on the enzyme combine with the substrate and a reaction occurs. 5. he speed of enzymatic reactions depends on the number of enzyme and substrate molecules available. 11

12 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.. Factors hat lter Enzymes 1. Enzymes (proteins) can be denatured by heat, p extremes, chemicals, electricity, radiation, and by other causes. Enzymes that only become active when they combine with a nonprotein component are cofactors. Small organic cofactors are called coenzymes. 12

14 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Energy for Metabolic Reactions:. Energy is the capacity to do work. B. ommon forms of energy include heat, light, sound, electrical energy, mechanical energy, and chemical energy. 14

15 . Release of hemical Energy - 1. Release of chemical energy in the cell often occurs through the oxidation of glucose. D. ellular Respiration consists of 3 reactions: glycolysis, citric acid cycle & electron transport chain 1. P a. P molecules contain three phosphates in a chain. b. cell uses P for many functions including active transport and synthesis of various compounds.

(generating O 2 ) and is combined with a coenzyme to! form a 2-carbon acetyl coenzyme (acetyl o). More! high-energy electrons are released.! Each acetyl o combines with a 4-carbon oxaloacetic! acid to form the 6-carbon citric acid, for which the cycle! is named. For each citric acid, a series of reactions! removes 2 carbons (generating 2 O 2 s), synthesizes! 1 P, and releases more high-energy electrons.! he figure shows 2 P, resulting directly from 2! turns of the cycle per glucose molecule that enters! glycolysis.

Special carrier molecules bring the high-energy electrons! to a series of enzymes that store much of the remaining! energy in more P molecules. he other products are! heat and water. he function of oxygen as the final! electron acceptor in this last step is why the overall! process is called aerobic respiration. ½ O 2! Electron! transport! chain! 2e and ! P 2 O 16

17 c. Energy is stored in the last phosphate bond of P. d. Energy is stored while converting DP to P; when energy is released, P becomes DP, ready to be regenerated into P. 17

20 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 2. lycolysis a. he first part of cellular respiration is the splitting of 6- glucose that occurs through a series of enzymecatalyzed steps called glycolysis. b. lycolysis occurs in the cytosol and does not require oxygen (is anaerobic). c. Energy from P is used to start the process but there is a net gain of energy as a result. 20

21 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 3. erobic Respiration 1. Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration, which occurs within the mitochondria. 2. here is a much greater gain of P molecules from aerobic respiration. 3. he final products of glucose oxidation are carbon dioxide, water, and energy. 21

23 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Metabolic Pathways:. he enzymes controlling either an anabolic or catabolic sequence of reactions must act in a specific order. B. sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions is called a metabolic pathway. 23

24 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.. Regulation of Metabolic Pathways 1. he rate of a metabolic pathway is determined by a regulatory enzyme responsible for one of its steps. 2. rate-limiting enzyme is the first step in a series. 24

25 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. DN (Deoxyribonucleic acid):. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DN) contains the genetic code needed for the synthesis of each protein (including enzymes) required by the cell. B. enetic Information 1. gene is a portion of a DN molecule that contains the genetic information for making a single protein. he complete set of instructions is the genome. 25

26 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.. DN Molecules 1. he nucleotides of DN form a sugar-phosphate backbone with bases extending into the interior of the DN molecule. 2. he nucleotides of one DN strand are compatible to those in the other strand (adenine pairs with thymine; cytosine with guanine) and so exhibit complementary base pairing. 26

27 3. he DN molecule twists to form a double helix and may be millions of base pairs long. 27

28 Fig04.10 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 28

29 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. D. DN Replication 1. Each new cell must be provided with an exact replica of the parent cell's DN. 2. DN replication occurs during interphase. a. he DN molecule splits. b. Nucleotides form complementary pairs with the original strands. 3. Each new DN molecule consists of one parental strand and one newlysynthesized strand of DN. 29

31 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Protein Synthesis:. he enetic ode- Instructions for making proteins 1. he genetic code is the correspondence of gene and protein building block sequences. 31

32 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 2. ranscription a. RN molecules are singlestranded and contain ribose rather than deoxyribose, and uracil rather than thymine. b. Messenger RN (mrn) molecules are synthesized in the nucleus in a sequence complementary to the DN template in a process called transcription. 32

33 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 3. ranslation a. Each amino acid corresponds to a triplet of DN nucleotides; a triplet of nucleotides in messenger RN is called a codon. b. Messenger RN can move out of the nucleus and associate with ribosomes in the cytoplasm where the protein will be constructed in a process called translation. 33

34 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. c. In the cytoplasm, a second kind of RN, called transfer RN, has a triplet of nucleotides called the anticodon, which is complementary to nucleotides of the messenger RN codon. d. he ribosome holds the messenger RN in position while the transfer RN carries in the correct amino acid in sequence, with anticodons matching up to codons. 34

35 opyright he Mcraw-ill ompanies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. e. he ribosome contains enzymes needed to join the amino acids together. f. s the amino acids are joined, the new protein molecule into its unique shape. 35
