Catalytic role of enzymes
-All reactions within a cell are catalyzed by enzymes
Mechanism of enzymatic catalysis
- Induced fit
Coenzymes
Carry chemical groups between substrates
Free Energy and ATP
ATP is free energy storage
Used for energy requiring reactions
Generation of ATP from Glucose
Aerobic Cells, the oxidation of glucose yield 36-38 ATP
Most ATP is made reducing O2 to H20
Photosynthesis
Light reaction
Dark reaction
Chlorophyll
Calvin Cycle
