Bioenergetics – Overview
- Use the PowerPoint from Dr. Chorney to understand what the overall idea of
bioenergetics is.
o Understand Gibbs Free Energy and spontaneous reactions
o Slide 16 – Catabolism vs. Anabolism
o What does an enzyme do?
Glycolysis
- What is it?
- How does it work? (General overview – You will not need to have all the steps
memorized, but be able to describe the steps if shown a diagram.)
- What is used during glycolysis?
- What is produced?
Citric Acid Cycle
- What is it?
- How does it work? (General overview – You will not need to have all the steps
memorized, but be able to describe the steps if shown a diagram.)
- What is used during glycolysis?
- What is produced?
- How are glycolysis and the citric acid cycle related?
Electron Transport Chain
- What is it?
- How does it work? (General overview – You will not need to have all the steps
memorized, but be able to describe the steps if shown a diagram.)
- What is used during glycolysis?
- What is produced?
- How are the electron transport chain and the citric acid cycle related?
Enzyme Lab
- What were the experiments in the enzyme lab and what happened in each? (Do not
memorize the steps, but be able to explain the concepts and what you learned.)
- How do genetic mutations affect enzyme catalysis?
- Explain how enzymes are used in the production of ATP in glycolysis, citric acid cycle,
and electron transport chain.
- How do pH, concentration, and temperature affect the rate of enzyme activity?
- Understand the information in the introduction and background portion of the lab.
