What is a redox reaction?
oxidation and reduction electron swapping that happens simultaneously
when a substance is reduced
often a result of a hydrogen atom being gained
When a substance is oxidized, it…
loses e’
What is metabolism?
the sum of all chemical processes that occur within cells
Metabolic pathways are …..

true
a metabolic pathway that breaks down organic materials is
catabolic
the final product in anabolic pathway has more energy than the reactants
true
what’s activation energy
amount of energy required for a reaction to occur
An enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction by _________ the activation energy?
decreasing
an example of an anabolic process would be
forming ATP
Reduced molecules have more energy than oxidized molecules.
true
When a reaction involves the gaining and losing of electrons, we call it a
redox reaction
