  1. Energy and Living Organisms • Living organisms require energy to perform functions. They: • Kidney cells: • to transports materials • Digestive tract: • break macromolecules • Heart: • to pump

  2. Thermodynamics and Metabolism

  3. Metabolism Metabolism: Anabolism: Catabolism:

  4. Flow of Energy Energy: Energy can take many forms: mechanical electric current heat light All energy can be classified as: -kinetic energy: -potential energy:

  5. Potential Energy • stored energy. • ___________________________________ • ___________________________________

  6. Flow of Energy Potential energy stored in chemical bonds can be transferred from one molecule to another by way of electrons. oxidation: reduction: redox reactions

  7. Kinetic Energy • Energy of motion • ________________________________________ • ________________________________________

  9. Thermodynamics • Study of heat and energy flow within chemical reactions

  10. Laws of Thermodynamics First Law of Thermodynamics – For example: sunlight energy chemical energy photosynthesis

  11. Exercise to lose weight • produce heat and you sweat • heats the air around you. • When you eat a pizza • energy from the chemical bonds in the bread, cheese, etc. is broken down • converted into ATP molecules through cellular respiration.

  12. Enthalpy • ______________________________________________________________________________ • The enthalpy change (ΔH) • amount of heat released or absorbed when a chemical reaction occurs at a constant pressure. • ΔH formation = _____________________________

  13. Potential Energy Diagram • Reactants: • Activation energy (Ea): • Transition state: • Products:

  14. Exothermic Reactions • some of the reactant's potential energy is released into the surroundings as heat. • enthalpy of the products is ____________________ • energy is _____________ • ΔH is ____________

  15. Exothermic Reaction http://cwx.prenhall.com/petrucci/medialib/media_portfolio/text_images/019_THERMITE.MOV

  16. Endothermic Reaction

  17. Endothermic Reactions

  18. Entropy

  19. Laws of Thermodynamics Second Law of Thermodynamics: entropy: The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics states that entropy is always increasing.

  20. Laws of Thermodynamics Free energy: -denoted by the symbol G (Gibb’s free energy) enthalpy: free energy = enthalpy – (entropy x temp.) G = H - TS

  21. Laws of Thermodynamics • Chemical reactions can create changes in free energy. • When products contain more free energy than reactants DG is positive. • When reactants contain more free energy than products DG is negative.

  22. Laws of Thermodynamics Chemical reactions can be described by the transfer of energy that occurs: endergonic reaction: exergonic reaction:

  23. Laws of Thermodynamics Most reactions require some energy to get started. activation energy: catalysts:

  24. Respiration C6H12O6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O + Energy (as ATP)            ΔG = - 2870 kJ/mol of glucose • release of energy • an increase in entropy • This reaction tends to proceed spontaneously.  

  25. Photosynthesis Photosynthesis Chemical Equation CO2 + H2O + Energy → C6H12O6 + O2 ΔG = + 2870 kJ/mol of glucose • energy is absorbed • a decrease in entropy • This reaction does not proceed spontaneously as energy is needed to drive the reaction.    

  26. Energy Currency of Cells ATP= adenosine triphosphate ATP structure:

  27. Section 9.1 P A P P Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

  28. Section 9.1 P P P Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) • Mono = One phosphate group • Di = Two phosphate groups • Tri = three phosphates groups A

  29. Section 9.1 The battery of the cell

  30. Energy Currency of Cells When the bond between phosphates is broken: ATP ADP + Pi energy is released ADP = adenosine diphosphate Pi = inorganic phosphate This reaction is reversible.
