Topic: Endergonic


  
  energy metabolism in cells
Endergonic reactions may be described either by the change in G value [[[Delta]]G] or by the equilibrium constant.
Endergonic reactions tend to reach equilibrium when the concentration of reactants is still high and the concentration of products is low.
Endergonic reactions may also be 'pulled' forward by removing the products of the reaction as fast as they form, so that the reaction is prevented from reaching its equilibrium point.

Endergonic systems of the set M possess such a vast structural variety (polymorphism), that they are capable of establishing eight pairs of simple mutually opposite functional relations between each other, i.e.
The operations of set R and their combinations entirely cover all kinds of relations that are obligatory for emergence and a stable existence of endergonic systems of the set M. The operations are equally performed with substance and energy and information.
The complexes of endergonic systems of set M act in the capacity of these structures and carry the combinations of operations of set R. Spontaneous formation of these complexes occur in such a way that the combinations, satisfying the formulated extreme principles, are realized.

Endergonic reaction = An energy-requiring reaction that proceeds with a net gain of free energy; a reaction that absorbs free energy from its surroundings.
In cellular metabolism, endergonic reactions are driven by coupling them to reactions with a greater negative free energy (exergonic).

I know I told you that you would not be responsible for the terms exergonic and endergonic but it still helps for you to know them so you can read the rest of these notes.
Endergonic reactions require energy input to take simple, low energy reactants and build complex, high energy products.
A key strategy in driving the endergonic reactions is to couple them to exergonic reactions through an energy shuttle called ATP.

Indeed, one can think of the energy required to drive forward the endergonic dehydration synthesis reaction as energy that becomes trapped in chemical bonds and associated with electrons that are now farther from atomic nuclei than they otherwise might be (in fact, were).
To those of you who are having troubling dealing with the terms exergonic and endergonic because you learned these concepts in chemistry class using the terms exothermic and endothermic, here's an attempt at a clarification.
Note that this reaction requires energy (i.e., it is endergonic) which is true in general for dehydration synthesis (i.e., dehydration synthesis is an example of an anabolic reaction)

Often, reactions are coupled, so the energy released from an exergonic reaction is used to drive an endergonic one.
Energy given off from food catabolism is used to drive endergonic reactions such as synthesis of complex molecules.
Sometimes, coupled reactions occur in different places, so energy from the exergonic reaction must be transferred to the location of the endergonic reaction.

Endergonic reactions are those in which free energy increases.
Reduction is the opposite--acquisition of an electron--and is an endergonic reaction.

Endergonic reactions must have an input of energy in order to take place.
In living systems exergonic reactions and endergonic reactions are often coupled.
ATP molecule is unstable because all 3 phosphate groups are negative; thus the phosphtes bonds are unstable and the last two are easily broken.

 Cellular Respiration   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
In biochemical pathways, exergonic reactions- those that involve a release of free energy - occur without the net input of energy; endergonic reactions - those that require the addition of energy - do not.
Chemical energy is used to create ATP, and the splitting of ATP is completed due to endergonic reactions, providing the necessary energy.
Because the formation of ATP from ADP + inorganic phosphate (Pi) requires an input of free energy, ATP formation is endergonic - it does not occur spontaneously.

An endergonic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed; this is also called a non-spontaneous reaction.
Non- spontaneous reactions require energy; that is, endergonic or energy-consuming reactions are coupled to exergonic or energy-releasing reactions.
Since entropy is constantly increasing, it follows that for the many endergonic reactions which occur to build macromolecules such as contractile tissue, a number of exergonic reactions are also occurring in which the net effect is greater disorder of the universe for greater order of the system itself.

The excess energy of the exergonic reaction that is not used in the endergonic reaction is released as heat energy which we simply call heat.

 EFFICIENCY OF ATP PRODUCTION
Almost every time a cell performs an endergonic reaction, such as linking amino acids, synthesizing small molecules, or cellular movement, it derives the needed energy from the splitting of ATP.
Aerobic organisms produce most of their ATP through respiration, a complex set of reactions that transfer electrons from glucose to oxygen.
In other words, the energy released when glucose reacts with oxygen is coupled with an endergonic reaction in order to produce ATP.

The work of cells is movement, active transport, and chemical reactions, some of which (endergonic reactions) require the input of energy to go forward.
However, in any particular situation it may not be possible to harness a particular type of energy to do work.
It is also important to understand that more energy must be released from the exergonic reaction than is required for the endergonic reaction.

But these condensation reactions are endergonic -- they will not happen spontaneously.
Solution to this problem: transfer phospate group from ATP to another molecule, change its free energy so that what was an endergonic ("uphill") reaction becomes an exergonic ("downhill") reaction.
This is an endergonic reaction, so it won't happen spontaneously.

 rate of exergonic reactions
Endergonic reactions are those in which the free energy of the initial state is less than the free energy of the final state.
However, the reaction does not necessarily occur at a great rate.
In an endergonic reaction the free energy of the initial state is lower than the free energy of the final state.
