Given that free energy increases with endergonic processes, and decreases with exergonic processes, fill in the blanks with “X” for exergonic or “N” for endergonic

a. The hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi is an _______ reaction.

b. Cells are able to carry out _______ reactions by coupling them to more _______ reactions.

c. Catabolic reactions are typically _______, while anabolic reactions are usually________.

d. Diffusion of H+ ions (protons) through ATP synthase is an ______ process.

Solutions

Expert Solution

A) hydrolysis of atp to adp and pi is an endergonic( N) reaction because energy is utilised in the form of atp.

B) cells are able to carryout endergonic (N) reactions by coupling them to more exergonic reaction(x)

Here Atp powers cellular work by coupling exergonic rreactions to endergonic reactions.

C) catabolic reaction are typically exergonic(x) while anabolic reactions are typically endergonic (N) reactions.

In catabolic reactions due to breaking of bonds energy is released so it is exergonic.

Whereas in anabolic bonds are formed which utilises energy, so it is endergonic.

D) diffusion of H+ through atp synthase is exergonic reactions (x).

Because it is an oxidation reaction. All the oxidation reactions are exergonic.

During oxidation reactions energy is released ,this energy is utilised to actively transport H+ through Atp synthase ,so it is exergonic.

In the textbook section titled "Endergonic and Exergonic Reactions", you studied a figure with a "comparison of combustion and cell respiration". Do you think it's possible that our bodies sometimes release energy in a "less controlled manner", to purposefully generate heat? With all due respect to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, it sure is nice to stay warm on a cold night!

In a paragraph, relate the following terms: Metabolism, anabolism, catabolism, hydrolysis, condensation, endergonic, exergonic. Relate means group those terms together that belong together. For example, anabolism means to build up larger molecules. What process do we use to build up larger molecules and does that process store energy or release energy?
