Definition
Release of energy in an exergonic reaction drives an endergonic reaction. are reactions that are linked,with the liberation of free energy in one reaction being used to drive a second reaction.
Term
The Breakdown of Glucose: An Exergonic Reaction. figure 3.3
Definition
the amount of total energy released via exergonic reactions is the same whether the energy is release in one single reaction (combustion) or many small, controlled steps that usually occur in cells (cellular oxidation). the breakdown of hlucose inrto carbon dioxide and water (6co2+6H2o) via cellular oxidation results in a release energy reactants that results of free energy.

Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Definition
This reaction often involves the transfer of hydrogen molecule (or atoms) rather than free electrons
Hydrogen molecule contains one electron
A molecule that loses a hydrogen also loses an electron and therefore is oxidized.
oxidized release electron and hydrogen
reduction accept hydrogen
Term

Enzymes Catalyze Reactions
figure 3.6
Definition
enzymes catalyze lower the energy of activation but do not alter nature of reaction why? by reducing the activation energy enzume increased the speed of chemical reactions and therefore increase the rate of product formation.
Term
Coenzyme function
Definition
1)Substrate such as pyruvate, need enzymes to be converted to other substrate.
2)Before enzyme attaches to vitamin coenzyme, enzyme is in a closed position. After attachment, it is in opening position.
3)The open, activated enzyme accepts the substrate.
4)Split the substrate into two compounds while releasing the enzyme and vitamin coenzyme
Term
Factors That Alter Enzyme Activity

Term
Factors That Alter Enzyme Activity
pH
Definition
Changes in pH reduces enzyme activity

Term
The Effect of Body Temperature on Enzyme Activity
Definition
A small rise in body temperature above normal increases the activity of most enzymes. it useful during exercise because muscular work results in an increase in body temperature and enhance bioenergetics (ATP production) by speeding up the rate of reactions involved in production
Term
The Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity
figure 3.9
Definition
if the PH is altered from the optimum, the enzyme activity is reduced. ex. during intense exercise, skeletal muscle can produce large amounts of hydrogen ions results in a decrease in the PH of body fluids below the optimum PH of important bio energetic enzymes. the end result is a decreased ability to provide the energy ATP required for muscular contraction.
