Metabolism: Energy, Enzymes, and Regulation
Chapter OverviewThis chapter discusses energy and the laws of thermodynamics. The participation
of energy in cellular metabolic processes and the role of adenosine-5'-triphosphate
(ATP) as the energy currency of cells are examined. The chapter concludes with
a discussion of enzymes as biological catalysts: how they work, how they are
affected by their environment, and how they are regulated. |
