• Energy – The ability to do work or bring about a change
Kinetic energy
• Energy of motion

Two Laws of Thermodynamics
• First law: Law of conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be changed from one form to another
• Second law: Law of entropy
When energy is changed from one form to another, there is a loss of usable energy
Waste energy goes to increase disorder

6.2 Metabolic Reactions and Energy Transformations
• Metabolism Sum of cellular chemical reactions in cell
Reactants participate in a reaction
Products form as result of a reaction
• Free energy is the amount of energy available to perform work Exergonic Reactions - Products have less free
energy than reactants (release energy)
Endergonic Reactions - Products have more free energy than reactants (require energy input)

ATP: Energy for Cells• Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
High energy compound used to drive metabolic reactions
Constantly being generated from adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
• Composed of: Adenine, ribose (together = adenosine), and three
phosphate groups• Coupled reactions
Energy released by an exergonic reaction captured in ATP
ATP is used to drive an endergonic reaction

ATP
Endergonic Reaction:
• The hydrolysis of ATP releases previously stored energy, allowing the change in free energy to do work and drive other processes.
• Has negative delta G.
• Examples: protein synthesis, nerve conduction, muscle contraction
