Coupled reactions
• Energy released by an exergonic reaction (or
reactions) is captured in ATP.
• ATP is then used to drive an endergonic reaction.

The effect of pH on rate of reaction. The optimal pH for pepsin, an enzyme that acts in
the stomach, is about 2, while the optimal pH for trypsin, an enzyme that acts in the
small intestine, is about 8. Enzyme shape is best maintained at the optimal pH, which
allows it to function best and bind with its substrates.
The effect of temperature on rate of reaction. a. Usually, the rate of an enzymatic reaction doubles with
every 10°C rise in temperature. This enzymatic reaction is maximum at about 40°C; then it decreases
until the reaction stops altogether, because the enzyme has become denatured. b. The body
temperature of ectothermic animals, such as iguanas, which take on the temperature of their
environment, often limits rates of reactions. c. The body temperature of endothermic animals, such as
polar bears, promotes rates of reaction.

Relationship of chloroplasts to mitochondria. Chloroplasts produce energy-rich
carbohydrate. Carbohydrate is broken down in mitochondria, and the energy released is
used for the buildup of ATP. Mitochondria can also respire molecules derived from fats
and amino acids for the buildup of ATP. Usable energy is lost as heat due to the energy
conversions of photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and the use of ATP in the body.
