Cell Metabolism

Involuntary control of our body's energy functions

Regulation of Metabolism:

Function/Purpose:

  • Products or reactants need to be in balance for our well being

Types of Regulation:

Coupled Reaction
  • a spontaneous reaction provides the energy needed by a nonspontaneous one
Regulation of Enzymes
Compartamentalizaiton
  • Hormonal
  • Segregates opposed reactions
Energy Status
  • Energy Charge - ADP Buffer
    • (ATP + .5ADP)/(ATP + ADP + AMP)
      • 1= all ATP
      • 0= all AMP
  • Phosphorylation Potential
    • ATP/(ADP + Pi)
THINK Buffers Human Buffers Buffered like pH, ATP fluctuates
Controling Flux

Concepts:
