Biological Order and Disorder
• Cells create ordered structures from less
ordered materials
• Organisms also replace ordered forms of
matter and energy with less ordered forms
• Energy flows into an ecosystem in the form
of light and exits in the form of heat

• More free energy (higher G)
• Less stable
• Greater work capacity
In a spontaneous change
• The free energy of the system
decreases (G  0)
• The system becomes more
stable
• The released free energy can
be harnessed to do work
• Less free energy (lower G)
• More stable
• Less work capacity

Exergonic and Endergonic Reactions in
Metabolism
• An exergonic reaction proceeds with a net
release of free energy and is spontaneous
• An endergonic reaction absorbs free energy
from its surroundings and is nonspontaneous

Equilibrium and Metabolism
• Cells are not in equilibrium; they are open
systems experiencing a constant flow of materials
• A defining feature of life is that metabolism is
never at equilibrium
• A catabolic pathway in a cell releases free energy
in a series of reactions
• Closed and open hydroelectric systems can
serve as analogies

Concept 8.3: ATP powers cellular work by
coupling exergonic reactions to endergonic
reactions
• A cell does three main kinds of work
– Chemical
– Transport
– Mechanical
• To do work, cells manage energy resources by
energy coupling, the use of an exergonic
process to drive an endergonic one
• Most energy coupling in cells is mediated by ATP

• ATP drives endergonic reactions by
phosphorylation, transferring a phosphate
group to some other molecule, such as a
reactant
• The recipient molecule is now called a
phosphorylated intermediate

Concept 8.4: Enzymes speed up metabolic
reactions by lowering energy barriers
• A catalyst is a chemical agent that speeds up
a reaction without being consumed by the
reaction
• An enzyme is a catalytic protein
• Hydrolysis of sucrose by the enzyme sucrase
is an example of an enzyme-catalyzed
reaction

How Enzymes Lower the EA Barrier
• Enzymes catalyze reactions by lowering the EA
barrier
• Enzymes do not affect the change in free
energy (∆G); instead, they hasten reactions
that would occur eventually

Substrate Specificity of Enzymes
• The reactant that an enzyme acts on is called the
enzyme’s substrate
• The enzyme binds to its substrate, forming an
enzyme-substrate complex
• The active site is the region on the enzyme
where the substrate binds
• Induced fit of a substrate brings chemical
groups of the active site into positions that
enhance their ability to catalyze the reaction

Effects of Local Conditions on Enzyme
Activity
• An enzyme’s activity can be affected by
– General environmental factors, such as
temperature and pH
– Chemicals that specifically influence the
enzyme

Cofactors
• Cofactors are nonprotein enzyme helpers
• Cofactors may be inorganic (such as a metal in
ionic form) or organic
• An organic cofactor is called a coenzyme
• Coenzymes include vitamins
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Enzyme Inhibitors
• Competitive inhibitors bind to the active site
of an enzyme, competing with the substrate
• Noncompetitive inhibitors bind to another
part of an enzyme, causing the enzyme to
change shape and making the active site less
effective
• Examples of inhibitors include toxins, poisons,
pesticides, and antibiotics

Allosteric Regulation of Enzymes
• Allosteric regulation may either inhibit or
stimulate an enzyme’s activity
• Allosteric regulation occurs when a regulatory
molecule binds to a protein at one site and
affects the protein’s function at another site
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Allosteric Activation and Inhibition
• Most allosterically regulated enzymes are
made from polypeptide subunits
• Each enzyme has active and inactive forms
• The binding of an activator stabilizes the
active form of the enzyme
• The binding of an inhibitor stabilizes the
inactive form of the enzyme

form
• Cooperativity is a form of allosteric regulation
that can amplify enzyme activity
• One substrate molecule primes an enzyme to
act on additional substrate molecules more
readily
• Cooperativity is allosteric because binding by a
substrate to one active site affects catalysis in
a different active site
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Feedback Inhibition
• In feedback inhibition, the end product of a
metabolic pathway shuts down the pathway
• Feedback inhibition prevents a cell from
wasting chemical resources by synthesizing
more product than is needed
