2 Flashcards
Macromolecules are built (synthesized) within the cell itself in a process called
Dehydration synthesis/ condensation reaction
_ and _ are two
important polysaccharides found in
plants, and both are composed of long
chains of glucose
Starch cellulose
enzyme that digest
cellulose
Cellulase
occur in plant tissues,
especially of fruits that bind water
and sugar to make viscous solutions or
gel.
Pectin
they are relatively insoluble
Lipids
The most important subclasses of
lipids in your body are
triglycerides,
phospholipids, and steroids
are a major type of lipid
Fats
Fats are broken down by _
reactions in cells to release energy
for use by those cells.
hydrolysis
an oxygen
dependent pathway of ATP
formation
Aerobic respiration
takes place
within the cell cytoplasm; without o2
Anaerobic respiration
Kreb’s Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)
• Product:
8 NADH
2 ATP
2 FADH
6 CO2
FAD –
Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide
oxidizing of food molecule like
glucose to form carbon dioxide and
water.
Cellular respiration
Three stages of cellular respiration
- Glycolysis
- Kreb’s Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle
- Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
splitting of sugar
