Microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules are some of the different types of protein elements in cells.

The information presented and the examples highlighted in the section support concepts and Learning Objectives outlined in Big Idea 1 of the AP Biology Curriculum Framework.

The Learning Objectives listed in the Curriculum Framework give a transparent foundation for the AP Biology course, as well as an inquiry-based laboratory experience, instructional activities, and AP exam questions.

The diversity and unity of life is driven by the process of evolution.

Your muscles contract when actin and myosin slide past each other.

They are able to depolymerize and reform quickly so that a cell can change its shape and movement.

White blood cells are good at fighting infections.

The body's immune system wouldn't be able to fight off diseases with fewer white blood cells.

You're most likely aware of the strength of the hair, nails, and skin on your body.

The structural elements of flagella, cilia, and centrioles are also called microtubules.

In prokaryotes, flagella and cilia are similar, but in eukaryotic cells they are different.

You've completed a survey of the components of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

The features of cells that make communication possible are covered in Chapter 9.

The microfilaments positioned just inside the plasma membrane are changed by the receptor.

These changes in the structure of the cell cause chemical signals to reach the nucleus and turn on or off the transcription of specific sections of DNA, which affects the production of associated proteins, thus changing the activities within the cell.

Blood clotting shows the role of the matrix in cell communication.

When a blood vessel is damaged, the cells in it display a tissue factor.

When tissue factor binding with another factor in the extracellular matrix causes platelets to adhere to the wall of the damaged blood vessel, it stimulates the adjacent smooth muscle cells in the blood vessel to contract, and causes a series of steps that stimulates the platelets to produce clotting.

This tight adherence prevents materials from leaking between the cells, and is found in most of the skin.

The tight junctions of the cells in your bladder prevent urine from leaking.

The cells are maintained in a sheet-like formation in organs and tissues that stretch, like the skin, heart, and muscles.

A gap junction allows water and small molecule to pass between adjacent animal cells.

The OpenStax book is available for free at http://cnx.org/content/col12078/1.6 light microscopes.

All prokaryotes have different parts of the body that are not bound to a single cell wall.

The prokaryotic cells range in size from small to large.

If the cell grows too large, there will not be enough surface area to support the increased volume.

vacuoles help break down macromolecules in plant cells.

The centrioles have an unknown purpose in cell division, and the centrosome has two bodies that are parallel to each other.

The nuclear envelope, lysosomes, vesicles, ER, and Golgi apparatus are included in the endomembrane system.

The SER stores calcium ion and is involved in the detoxification of medications and poisons.

A chain of reactions occurs when a substance in the extracellular matrix is binding to the surface of the animal cell.

Light beam applications in health care because it promotes the use of does not kill the cell.

Killing the more cells is required for living organisms to be composed of one or microscopes.

The free OpenStax book requires rigid cell walls to protect it.

With the electron reactions that take place on the mitochondria inner microscope, it would be harder to see the same thing asbacteria.

Different solute concentrations in the bacterium cause these reactions in the cytoplasm.

If there is a change in the gene for collagen, such as apparatus and move into the nucleus for the one involved in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and the processing.

Gap junctions and plasmodesmata are important for transportation in animal and plant cells.

The ancestry of this organisms is that it does not point to a common take up of vitamins and minerals.

A window is designed to add light to a space without heat transport.

Society may encourage cooperation among individuals by making observations and discouraging selfish behavior to increase the overall measurement and analyze the resulting data.

Scientific questions are testable and often your summaries of what you know attempt to reveal a mechanism responsible for a erythrocytes and capillary size.

Animals have special features in the production of red blood cells.

The structure and functions of the organelles can be traced back to the genes that originate in other tissue systems.

Red blood cells that are usually nucleated are still unanswered about control of replication rate and segregation.

The questions that you pose will depend on the path that your class is taking through the curriculum.

People and objects move from one location to another, they cross or are contained within certain boundaries, and they provide a constant flow as part of larger activity.

Other people need help from specialized structures, other molecule or energy in order to cross.

Cholesterol and other types of fats are moved across the plasma membrane by thisprotein.

The scientists from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, and the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research discovered that the Ebola virus uses the NPC1 to replicate.

Without properly functioning NPC1, a mouse can't be exposed to the Ebola virus.

The sphinx form a bilayer by being in contact with each other and with the internal and external environments.

The embedded proteins can be either hydrophilic or hydrophobic, depending on where they are placed in the cell.

Structural attachment for fibers of the cytoskeleton and part of a cell's recognition sites can be found on the exterior and interior surfaces of the membranes.

The "cell-specific" proteins play a vital role in immune function, enable cells of a certain type to identify each other when forming a tissue, and allow hormones and other molecules to recognize target cells.

Information presented and the examples highlighted in the section support concepts and learning objectives.

An inquiry-based laboratory experience, instructional activities, and AP(r) exam questions are provided by the learning objectives.

Markers that allow cells to recognize one another are vital for tissue and organ formation during early development, and which later plays a role in the "self" versus "non-self" distinction of the immune response.

The ability to transmit signals by means of complex, integral proteins known as receptors is one of the most sophisticated functions of the plasma membrane.

The process of signal transduction can malfunction with disastrous consequences when the genes of the receptors are hijacked by viruses.

In 1935, Hugh Davson and James Danielli proposed the first model of the plasma membrane's structure, which was based on the "railroad track" appearance in early electron micrographs.

Over time, the model has evolved, but it still best accounts for the structure and functions of the plasma membrane.

Human red blood cells, visible via light microscopy, are approximately 8 um wide, or 1,000 times wider than a plasma membrane.

Carbohydrates that are attached to the lipids and theglycolipids extend from the outside of the cell.

The structure and function of the Plasma Membranes are explained in Chapter 5.

There is a molecule consisting of glycerol, two fatty acids, and a phosphate-linked head group.

Myelin, an outgrowth of the specialized cells that insulate the peripheral nerves, contains only 18 and 76 percent of the two components.

The red blood cells have a high percentage of lipids.

On the exterior and inside of the cell, hydrogen bonds are formed with water and other polar molecules.

This OpenStax book is available for free and is composed of a double layer of phospholipids that separates the water and other materials on one side.

Some complex proteins are composed of up to 12 segments of a singleProtein, which are extensively folded and embedded in the Membrane There are at least one and possibly several mildly hydrophobic regions in this type ofProtein.

As part of the cell's recognition sites, peripheral and integral proteins may serve as structural attachment for the fibers of the cytoskeleton.

These are sometimes referred to as "cell specific" The body attacks foreign proteins that are associated with invaders.

They are found on the exterior surface of cells and can either be straight or branched.

The way that the facial features of each person allow him or her to be recognized is what these sites have.

Immune cells are not able to recognize and attack the surfaces of viruses because of the different types of glycoproteins and glycolipids found on them.

The sugars on the cell's exterior surface are collectively referred to as the glycocalyx.

Large amounts of water are attracted to the surface of the cell by the glycocalyx.

The glycocalyx is important for cell identification, self/non-self determination, and embryonic development, and is used in cell-cell attachment to form tissues.

The human immune system is stimulated by other recognition sites on the virus's surface.

The production of an effective vaccine against the virus is very difficult because of the rapid change of the recognition sites.

The person's immune system will not be able to fight the virus because of the rapid change of surface markers.

In the case of HIV, the problem is compounded by the fact that the virus specifically destroys cells involved in the immune response, further incapacitating the host.

It is not like a balloon that can expand and contract, but rather it is rigid and can burst if a cell takes in too much water.

Because of its mosaic nature, a very fine needle can easily penetrate a plasma membrane without causing it to burst.

The saturated form of the fatty acids in the tails are bound with hydrogen atoms.

In contrast, unsaturated fatty acids do not contain a maximal number of hydrogen atoms, but they do contain some double bonds between adjacent carbon atoms, which results in a bend in the string of carbons of approximately 30 degrees.

If saturated fatty acids with their straight tails are compressed by decreasing temperatures, they press in on each other, making a dense and fairly rigid membrane.

The "elbow room" helps to maintain the integrity of the membranes at certain temperatures.

A cold environment makes the membranes less fluid and more susceptible to rupturing.

Many organisms are able to adapt to cold environments by changing the proportion of stearic acids in their membranes.

Transport proteins are required because of the impermeable nature of the plasma membrane.

In both directions, cholesterol extends the range of temperature in which the membrane is functional.

Cholesterol can be used to organize clusters of transmembrane proteins into lipid rafts.

Immunology is interested in the variations in peripheral proteins and carbohydrates that affect a cell's recognition sites.

Immunology is the study and treatment of allergies and other immune problems.

Immunology studies and treats diseases in which a person's immune system attacks his or her own cells or tissues, such as lupus.

Natural immunity and the effects of a person's environment are studied by some immunologists.

The American Board of Allergy and Immunology requires that immunologists pass an exam in order to train in an accredited program.

Knowledge of the functions of the human body as they relate to issues beyond immunization, and knowledge of pharmacology and medical technology, such as medications, therapies, test materials, and surgical procedures, are required.

You will be able to identify and describe the properties of life by the end of this section.

Net movement of water into or out of the cell is impossible when the concentrations of solute are equal on both sides.

A variety of ways to maintain osmotic balance have been evolved by living organisms.

Information presented and the examples highlighted in the section support concepts and learning objectives.

The learning objectives listed in the curriculum framework give a transparent foundation for the AP biology course, an inquiry-based laboratory experience, instructional activities, and AP exam questions.

As certain materials move back and forth, or as the cell has special mechanisms that facilitate transport, this may happen passive.

A lowmolecular weight material can easily slip through the core of the membranes.

Oxygen and carbon dioxide have no charge, so they pass through the membranes.

Small ion can easily slip through the spaces in the mosaic, but their charge prevents them from doing so.

Ions such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride must have special ways of penetrating.

Simple sugars and amino acids need help with transport.

Imagine a person opening a bottle of ammonia in a room filled with people.

Concentration gradients are a form of potential energy that is dissipated when they are eliminated.

Molecules move at a rate that depends on their mass, their environment, and the amount of thermal energy they possess, which in turn is a function of temperature.

Dynamic equilibrium is a lack of a concentration gradient in which there is no net movement of a substance.

In the presence of a concentration of a substance, several factors affect the rate of diffusion.

The slower the rate of diffusion becomes, the closer the distribution of the material gets to equilibrium.

As the body's cells lose water, their functions decline.

Dehydration can lead to unconsciousness and possibly coma because of the decrease in the cell's diffusion rate.

A faster rate of diffusion can be achieved by using nonpolar or lipid-soluble materials.

The slower the rate of diffusion, the greater the distance that a substance must travel.

The OpenStax book is available for free at http://cnx.org/content/col12078/1.6 center of the cell.

Sometimes the rate of diffusion is enhanced by pressure, which causes the substances to filter more rapidly.

One of the effects of high blood pressure is the appearance of a substance in the urine.

The materials can diffuse into the cell if they are protected from the repulsive force of the membrane.

Some of the important parts of the body are collections of sheets that form a porpoise.

Both forms of channels can be found in different parts of the kidneys.

In the case of nerve cells, the opening and closing of these channels can change the relative concentrations on opposing sides of the ion in a way that facilitates electrical transmission.

The bound molecule can be moved from the outside of the cell to the inside depending on the gradient.

When hydrogen bonds are affected, the shape of the proteins can change.

There are a finite number of the same carrier proteins in different parts of the body.

Problems can be caused by transporting enough material for the cell to function properly.

In one part of the kidneys, the body's salts, sugars, and water are taken care of.

Carrier proteins take a long time to transport.

The aquaporins that facilitate water movement are found in the red blood cells and the kidneys.

The diagram shows that the solute can't pass through the membranes, but the water can.

The principle of diffusion is that the Molecules will spread evenly throughout the Medium if they can move around.

The beaker example is in an open system where the volume of fluid can increase or decrease.

Red blood cells can be placed in pure water for an experiment.

The red blood cell is most likely to undergo hemolysis, where they swell up with water and burst.

Hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic are three terms used to describe the osmolarity of a cell.

The cell has a lower concentration of water in the solution than the extracellular fluid.

The fluid has a higher osmolarity than the cell's cytoplasm, so it contains less water.

In an isotonic condition, the concentrations of solute and solvent are the same on 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 There is no change in the size of the cell because there is no net water movement.

The cell will break apart if the spaces between the lipids and proteins become too large.

When excessive amounts of water leave a red blood cell, it shrinks.

The effect of concentrating the solutes left in the cell is to make the cytosol denser.

Some organisms, such as plants, fungi,bacteria, and protists, have cell walls that surround the plasma membrane and prevent cell lysis in a hypotonic solution.

Turgor pressure is created by the inflow of water and stiffens the cell walls of the plant.

Turgor pressure within a plant cell depends on the tonicity of the solution that it is bathed in.

Without adequate water, the plant on the left has lost turgor pressure, which is visible in its wilting, while the plant on the right has turgor pressure restored by watering it.

The cell is kept from lysing by the excess water collected by the vesicle.

A paramecium's contractile vacuole, visualized using bright field light microscopy at 480x magnification, continuously pumps water out of the organism's body to keep it from bursting in a hypotonic medium.

Many marine invertebrates have internal salt levels that match their environments, making them isotonic with the water in which they live.

Five percent of the fish's metabolism is needed to maintain osmotic homeostasis.

The reverse environment where saltwater fish live is hypertonic to their cells and they excrete highly concentrated urine.

The concentration of solutes in the blood is monitored by specialized cells in the brain.

If the levels of solutes increase beyond a certain range, a hormone is released that slows the loss of water in the body.

A major factor in controlling the osmotic pressures applied to tissues is the large size of this protein.

The movement of water into and out of plant cells depends on the solute concentration of the environment.

In cellular respiration and photosynthesis, the formation of H+ gradients by secondary active transport is important.

Information presented and the examples highlighted in the section support concepts and learning objectives.

The learning objectives listed in the curriculum framework give a transparent foundation for the AP biology course, an inquiry-based laboratory experience, instructional activities, and AP exam questions.

Some active transport mechanisms move small-molecular weight materials.

Living cells need ion and other substances in the face of passive movements.

All of the transporters can carry small, un charged organic molecules.

There are three types of carrier proteins that can be found in the process of facilitation.

The correct concentrations of Na+ and K+) in living cells are maintained by the sodium-potassium pump.

Depending on its orientation to the interior or exterior of the cell, the Na+-K+ATPase can be found in two different forms.

The shape change increases the carrier's affinity for the potassium ion.

The carrierProtein is positioned towards the interior of the cell with the removal of thephosphate group.

Two ion are released into the cytoplasm when the carrier protein is in a new configuration.

The process starts again after the protein has a higher affinity for sodium ion.

The conditions needed for the secondary process are created by the difference in charge.

The net negative change of the interior of an animal nerve cell is caused by the sodium-potassium pump.

Secondary active transport brings compounds into the cell.

The action of the primary active transport process creates an electrochemical gradient when the concentrations of sodium ion build outside of the plasma membrane.

This secondary process is used to store high-energy hydrogen ion in the mitochondria of plant and animal cells.

Secondary active transport and co-transport are processes that can move other substances against their concentration gradients.

Excess potassium leads to uncoordinated organ activity.

A type of white blood cell called a neutrophil can remove invaders from the body.

Information presented and the examples highlighted in the section support concepts and learning objectives.

The learning objectives listed in the curriculum framework give a transparent foundation for the AP biology course, an inquiry-based laboratory experience, instructional activities, and AP exam questions.

You might have believed that large particles need energy to be released from the cell.

A large particle can't pass through the cell's outer shell.

There are different variations of endocytosis, all of which have the same characteristic: a pocket around the target particle.

The pocket pinches off, causing the particle to be contained in a newly created intracellular vesicle.

A type of white blood cell called a neutrophil will destroy the microorganism when it invades the human body.

The coated portion of the cell surrounds the particle, eventually enclosing it.

The clathrin disengages from the cell and the lysosome splits the material in the newly formed compartment.

To describe how a neutrophil, a type of human white blood cell, attacks and destroys an invading bacterium, create a representation/diagram.

This is a process that takes in water and other substances, which the cell needs.

In pinocytosis, the cell invaginates and surrounds a small volume of fluid.

The material will not be removed from the tissue fluids or blood if the process is not effective.

There is a human genetic disease called familial hypercholesterolemia.

This fusion opens the membranous envelope on the exterior of the cell, and the waste material is expelled into the extracellular space.

The fluid mosaic model is referred to as the modern understanding of the plasma membrane.

The fluid nature of the membranes is due to temperature, the configuration of the fatty acid tails, the presence of cholesterol, and the mosaic nature of the proteins andcarbohydrate combinations, which are not firmly fixed in place.

Rather than being a static bag, the borders of the cells are covered with plasm membranes that are constantly in motion.

In solutions containing more than one substance, each type of molecule diffuses according to its own concentration.

Concentration, size of particles, temperature of the system, and so on are some of the factors that can affect the rate of diffusion.

Balance of the concentrations of the solutions that occur in the chemistry of living things is an ongoing problem.

In a living system, it would be difficult to move some substances without the help of the MEA.

It takes energy from the cell to move substances up their electrochemical gradients.

Instuments in the cell are similar to pumps and are used to move materials.

Some pumps carry out primary active transport and drive their action.

In phagocytosis, a portion of the membrane invaginates and flows around the particle, eventually pinching off and leaving the particle completely enclosed by an envelope of plasma membrane.

Vesicle particles are either used as food or dispatched, and are broken down by the cell.

A small envelope of fluid from outside the cell can be produced by the invagination and pinches off of the plasma membrane.

The primary function of the carbohydrates will vary depending on the proportions of the lipids and the proteins in the cell.

They have higher concentrations of body fluid inside and outside the cell.

The main force driving the movement of Molecules across the membranes must be identified.

The primary and secondary active transport are dependent on the same molecule.

The flexibility, along with the polar head faces towards water and the nonpolar Peripheral proteins, are part of the cell's recognition fatty acid tails.

The bilayer is formed by the b. Phospholipids, Carbohydrates, Cholesterol, and fatty acid tails.

TheIntermediate polar head faces towards water and the nonpolar filaments help in adhesion.

Discuss how fluidity affects the rate of diffusion and how it doesn't contribute to the distance that must be traveled.

In order to affect the movement of genes, there needs to be a sufficient amount of Potassium.

In exocytosis, waste material endocytosis, where themolecules are transported via is covered with a caveolae-coated vesicles.

In endocytosis, waste material is transported via a clathrin-coated membrane that connects with the interior of the vesicles.

Pinocytosis is a mode that combines with the interior of endocytosis used for absorption.

In exocytosis, the waste material is encased in a membrane that connects with the outside of the plasma.

Arsenic poisoning can disrupt the transport of chloride ion through the channel.

The lungs of epithelial cells are the most likely place to observe decreased transport of Cl- ion by the following.

Arsenic poisoning can disrupt the production of anhydride in the mucus and cause the oxidation of water out of the cells.

The mucus and movement of water into the cells leads to increased electrolyte concentration.

As shown in the graph, the pump functions like excess water were determined and plotted against an anti-porter transporting Na+ and K+ across osmolarity of the solutions.

The rates of contraction binding site for Na+, K+, and ATP are lower at higher osmolarity.

An experiment was set up to determine the movement of molecule through a bag of water.

The location of the binding sites for Na+ and distilled water outside of the dialysis-tubing bag is described after four hours.

The binding of Na+ occurs on the outer a. Fructose surface, which is a monosaccharide.

The binding of K+ occurs on the outer surface so it can't travel through the cell.

The binding of c. Fructose and Lactose is oppositely charged and occurs on the inner surface of the cell due to the force of repulsion.

Rice plants grown in high-salt environments can transport sodium ion into the vacuole.

The table shows the mean and standard deviation from the measurements.

Energy is required for almost every task performed by living organisms.

Imported, broken down, synthesised, modified if needed, transported around the cell, and distributed to the entire organisms are some of the ways in which vitamins and other molecule are imported, broken down, synthesised, modified if needed, transported around the cell, and distributed to the entire organisms The large proteins that make up muscles are built from smaller Molecules.

Cells need to export waste and toxins to stay healthy.

The beating motion of cellular appendages such as cilia and flagella allows many cells to swim or move around.

A steady supply of energy is required for all of the cellular processes listed above.

The physical laws that govern energy transfer will be discussed in this chapter.

In this chapter, the activation energy required to start a chemical reaction in the body will be discussed.

The chemical reactions needed to survive would not happen fast enough without the help of the enzymes.

Waste products accumulate in the cells and cause brain damage if an individual lacks one of the enzymes needed to break down a mucopolysaccharide.

SanFilippo Syndrome type B or Mucopolysaccharidosis III is a deadly genetic disease.

Metabolism scientists have found a way to replace the missing enzyme in the brain of mice.

Free energy is required to conduct cell processes such as growth and reproduction.

Organisms have different strategies to capture, store, transform, and transfer free energy.

The breaking down of complex molecule into simpler ones with a release of energy is one of the metabolic reactions.

The synthesis and breakdown ofglucose is a central example of these pathways.

The diversity and unity of life is driven by the process of evolution.

Free energy and matter are required for growth, reproduction and maintenance of living systems.

The building and breaking down of complex molecule occur through stepwise chemical reactions.

The metabolism of sugar is one of the many cellular processes that use and produce energy.

This process requires an input of energy to proceed because it involves synthesizing a larger molecule.

During the reactions of photosynthesis, solar energy is needed to synthesise a molecule of glucose.

The stored energy in ATP and NADPH is used to build a molecule of carbon dioxide.

This process is similar to eating breakfast in the morning to get the energy you need for the rest of the day.

When sugars are consumed, they make their way into living cells.

Each sugar molecule is broken down through a series of chemical reactions inside the cell.

The high-energy ATP molecule can be used to perform work and power many chemical reactions in the cell.

This process is an efficient way for cells to generate energy.

The oak tree uses energy from the sun to make sugar.

Two types of pathways are shown in the processes of making and breaking down sugar.

Early life forms used metabolism to get energy from their surroundings.

The majority of global synthesis is done by planktonic algae, which harvest the sun's energy and convert it into sugars.

Oxygen is needed by some cells to carry out cellular respiration.

When the atmosphere lacked oxygen 3.8 billion years ago, Organisms probably evolved anaphylactic metabolism to survive.

Researchers have found that all branches of life share some of the same metabolism pathways, suggesting that all organisms evolved from the same ancient common ancestor.

Evidence shows that over time, the pathways changed, adding specialized enzymes to allow organisms to better adapt to their environment, thus increasing their chance to survive.

The underlying principle is that all organisms must harvest energy from their environment and use it to carry out cellular functions.

Catabolic pathways involve the breakdown of complex molecule into simpler ones.

It is possible to harvest the energy stored in the bonds of complex molecules in such a way that it can be used to produce ATP.

Catalyzing all types of biological reactions requires the use of Enzymes.

Maintaining the cell's energy balance requires two types of pathways.

The breakdown of large macromolecules is one of the metabolic reactions that involve the breaking down of complex chemicals.

Anabolism refers to processes that build complex molecule out of simpler ones, such as the synthesis of macromolecules.

When bonds break in a chemical reaction, free energy is released.

Information presented and the examples highlighted in the section support concepts and learning objectives.

The Learning Objectives listed in the Curriculum Framework give a transparent foundation for the AP Biology course, an inquiry-based laboratory experience, instructional activities, and AP(r) Exam questions.

Free energy and matter are required for growth, reproduction and maintenance of living systems.

Constant input of free energy is required for all living systems.

Constant input of free energy is required for all living systems.

The suspended wrecking ball has a different energy than objects in motion.

As the wrecking ball hangs motionless, it has zero and 100 percent potential energy.

The ball has lost its potential energy before it hits the ground.

A rubber band that is pulled taut has potential energy if it is compressed.

The release of energy is accomplished by breaking the bonds between fuel molecule.

The measurement of free energy is named after the scientist who developed it.

Every chemical reaction involves a change in free energy.

The resulting value from the equation will be a negative number if energy is released during a chemical reaction.

Understanding which chemical reactions can be used to perform work inside the cell is very useful for biologists.

There is a distinction between the term spontaneously and the idea of a chemical reaction that occurs immediately.

A spontaneously occurring reaction is not one that happens suddenly or quickly.

The rusting of iron is an example of a gradual reaction that happens slowly over time.

Without free energy, an endergonic reaction won't take place.

The building of complex molecule, such as sugars, from simpler ones, requires energy.

The catabolic process of breaking sugar down into simpler molecules releases energy in a series of exergonic reactions.

The breakdown of sugar involves reactions that don't occur immediately.

A decomposing compost pile, a chick developing from a fertilized egg, sand art being destroyed, and a ball rolling down a hill are included.

Chemical equilibrium is an important concept in the study of metabolism and energy.

The same is true for the chemical reactions involved in cell metabolism, such as the breaking down and building up of proteins into and from individual amino acids.

When a state of equilibrium is reached, reactants within a closed system will undergo chemical reactions in both directions.

The system needs energy to push the reactants and products away from equilibrium.

If a cell were closed, it would die because there wouldn't be enough free energy to do the work needed to maintain life.

Chemical reactions in a living cell never reach equilibrium.

This constant supply of energy comes from sunlight which is used to make food.

Changes in free energy are caused by Exergonic and endergonic reactions.

exergonic reactions require a small amount of energy input to get going before they can proceed with their energy-releasing steps The steps that take place during a chemical reaction are the reason.

To get them into a state that allows bonds to break, the molecule must be somewhat contorted.

This contorted state requires a small energy input.

The reactant molecule doesn't last long in their transition state, but very quickly proceed to the next steps of the chemical reaction.

If the reaction is exergonic or endergonic, the products in the diagram will be at a lower or higher energy state than the reactants.

An animation shows the move from free energy to transition state.

heating up a system will cause chemical reactants to react more frequently.

The reaction will proceed once the reactants have absorbed enough heat energy from their surroundings.

An inherently slow reaction can be seen in the example of iron rusting.

This reaction takes a long time because of its high EA.

The burning of fuels, which are strongly exergonic, will take place at a negligible rate unless sufficient heat is overcome by a spark.

The heat energy is too high for most cellular reactions to be overcome at efficient rates.

In order for important cellular reactions to occur at appreciable rates, their activation energies must be lowered.

The essential components of a cell would be destroyed if cellular temperatures alone provided enough heat energy for these exergonic reactions.

Plants use water, carbon dioxide, and energy from the sun to make sugars.

Living cells use potential energy from bonds to perform work.

The products of endergonic reactions have a higher energy state than the reactants.

The term system is used by scientists to refer to the environment involved in energy transfers.

On Sunday evening, you put dirty clothes in the laundry basket, put books back on the shelves, and return dirty dishes to the kitchen.

The laws of chemistry and physics are what all biological systems obey.

The first law states that the total amount of energy in the universe can be transformed and transferred.

Information presented and the examples highlighted in the section, support concepts and learning objectives are outlined in Big Idea 2 of the AP Biology Curriculum Framework.

The Learning Objectives listed in the Curriculum Framework give a transparent foundation for the AP Biology course, an inquiry-based laboratory experience, instructional activities, and AP(r) Exam questions.

Free energy and matter are required for growth, reproduction and maintenance of living systems.

Constant input of free energy is required for all living systems.

Everything outside of the system that is relevant to energy transfer is called the surroundings.

A closed system can't transfer energy to its surroundings.

They consume energystoring molecule and release energy to the environment by doing work.

Through a series of cellular chemical reactions, sugars and fats are transformed into energy within the molecule of the same name.

Some of the types of work that cells need to do are: building complex molecule, transporting materials, power the beating motion of cilia or flagella, contracting muscle fibers to create movement, and reproduction.

Humans can convert the chemical energy in food into the movement of a bicycle.

The second law of thermodynamics explains why these tasks are harder than they appear.

Warm-blooded creatures like us benefit from this because heat energy helps maintain our body temperature.

Order and disorder, also known as randomness, is an important concept in physical systems.

Think of a student's bedroom as an example of high disorder and low energy.

A car or house needs to be kept in an ordered state by constantly being maintained.

The house or car's entropy increases through rust and degradation if left alone.

Living things are highly ordered, requiring constant energy input to be maintained in a state of low entropy.

Living systems lose some usable energy when they take in energy-storing molecules and transform them through chemical reactions.

Even though living things are highly ordered and maintain a state of low entropy, the universe in total is constantly increasing due to the loss of usable energy with each energy transfer that occurs.

Living things are fighting a constant increase in universal entropy.

Scientists use the term system to refer to the matter and environment involved in energy transfers.

The first law states that the total amount of energy in the universe is constant.

A five-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base adenine, and three phosphate groups are part of an ATP nucleotide molecule.

The bonds that connect thephosphate have high-energy content and are used to perform cellular work, such as contracting a muscle or pumping a solute across a cell.

The phosphorylated molecule is at a higher energy state and less stable than its unphosphorylated form and free energy is released to substrates to perform work during this process.

Information presented and the examples highlighted in the section support concepts and learning objectives.

The Learning Objectives listed in the Curriculum Framework give a transparent foundation for the AP Biology course, an inquiry-based laboratory experience, instructional activities, and AP(r) Exam questions.

Free energy and matter are required for growth, reproduction and maintenance of living systems.

Constant input of free energy is required for all living systems.

The Science Practices Assessment Ancillary contains additional test questions that will help you prepare for the AP exam.

Even exergonic, energy-releasing reactions require a small amount of activation energy in order to proceed.

The potential for a quick burst of energy that can be harnessed to perform cellular work is contained within some of the bonds of the molecule.

The nitrogenous base adenine and a five-carbon sugar, ribose are found in the adenosine triphosphate.

The ribose sugar has three groups of phosphate labeled alpha,beta, andgamma.

The products of such bond breaking--adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and one inorganicphosphate group (Pi)--have considerably lower free energy than the reactants.

People rely on the regeneration of spent money through some sort of income, just as cells do.

The free energy released during this process is lost as heat unless quickly used to perform work.

The second question is about how the energy released by ATP hydrolysis is used to perform work inside the cell.

A transmembrane ion pump is very important for cellular function and is an example of energycoupling using ATP.

In order for the pump to turn one cycle, one molecule of ATP must be hydrolyzed.

The binding of extracellular K+ causes thephosphate to detach from the pump.

This basic form of energy is used to perform cellular work.

Metabolism macromolecules speed up chemical reactions by lowering energy barriers.

Substrate binding alters the shape of the enzyme to facilitate the chemical reaction in a number of ways.

After the reaction is over, the product is released and the active site is back to its original shape.

Environmental conditions, including the amount of substrate, temperature, pH, and the presence of coenzymes, cofactors, and activators, affect the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.

By binding to the allosteric site, cofactors can act competitively.

Under optimal conditions, the enzymes work most efficiently.

The critical task of lowering the activation energies of chemical reactions inside the cell is performed by almost all the enzymes.

The chemical bond-breaking and bond-forming processes can take place more quickly if the reactant molecule is held in such a way as to make the chemical bond-breaking and bond-forming processes take place more readily.

Residues can be large or small, weakly acidic or basic.

A very specific chemical environment is created by the unique combination of the positions, structures, and properties of the amino acids.

The specificity of the enzymes is due to the fact that they adapt to find the best fit between the transition state and the active site.

The fact that active sites are perfectly suited to provide specific environmental conditions also means that they are subject to influences by the local environment.

Increasing or decreasing the temperature outside of an optimal range can affect chemical bonds within the active site in a way that they are less suited to bind.

The local environment's pH can affect the function of the enzyme.

Changes in the pH can affect the way the molecules bind.

Extreme pH values in the environment can cause enzymes to denature if they are not suited to function within a certain range.

For a long time, scientists thought that binding took place in a "lock-and-key" fashion.

A deficiency of phosphofructokinase can cause skeletal muscles to fail.

Chemical reactions that involve more than one substrate can be promoted by the use of enzymes.

The perfect environment for an enzyme's specific substrates to react is created by the chemical properties of the particular arrangement of amino acid residues within an active site.

The energy involved in manipulating chemical bonds so that they can easily break and allow others to reform is required for many reactions.

The transition state can be reached by lowering the activation energy by contorting the substrate molecule in a way that facilitates bond-breaking.

One of the hallmark properties of enzymes is that they remain unchanged by their reactions.

The model shows that both the enzyme and the Substrate undergo changes upon binding.

You can use this investigation to design and conduct experiments to explore the effects of environmental variables on the rates of enzymatic reactions.

It would be ideal to have a scenario in which all of the enzymes in the genome were plentiful and were able to function in all cells at all times.

The needs and conditions of individual cells change over time.

The amounts and functions of different enzymes are affected by the demands and conditions of the cell.

Since the rates of biochemical reactions are controlled by activation energy and the amount and functioning of the variety of enzymes within a cell, the relative amounts and functioning of the variety of enzymes within a cell ultimately determine which reactions will proceed and at which rates.

Environmental factors like temperature and pH control the activity of the enzyme.

Cells control the activity of enzymes through other mechanisms and determine the rates at which various biochemical reactions will occur.

There are many different kinds of molecule that can affect the function of the enzyme.

When an allosteric inhibitor is used to bind to an enzyme, the active sites on the proteins are changed so that they don't work as well.

Allosteric drugs modify the active site of the enzyme to prevent or reduce binding.

Understanding how enzymes work and how they can be regulated is a key principle behind the development of many of the pharmaceutical drugs.

The name of the class of drugs that reduces cholesterol levels is called statins.

The HMG-CoA reductase is an important player in the synthesis of cholesterol in the body.

Its mechanism of action is still not fully understood, and it is effective in providing relief from pain.

In this stage, biologists and chemists work together to create compounds that can either block or amplify a reaction.

The level of cholesterol in the blood can be reduced by taking Statins.

The binding of these molecules to their respective enzymes promotes optimal function.

A multi-enzyme complex called pyruvate dehydrogenase is an important step in the breakdown of sugar.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase requires one magnesium ion and five different organic coenzymes to make its specific chemical reaction.

An abundance of various cofactors and coenzymes, which are supplied primarily by the diet of most organisms, regulates the function of the enzyme.

For certain cellular processes, the Enzymes can be housed separately along with their Substrates, allowing for more efficient chemical reactions.

The enzymes involved in the final stages of cellular respiration, which take place exclusively in the mitochondria, and the enzymes involved in the digestion of cellular debris and foreign materials, located within lysosomes, are examples of this type of regulation based on location and proximity.
