5.2 study guide Flashcards
metabolism
all chemical reactions of life
anabolic
making larger molecules out of smaller ones
ex: dehydration synthesis
catabolic
breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones
ex: hydrolysis
exergonic
(catabolic)
chemical reactions that release more energy than they require
endergonic
(anabolic)
chemical reactions that require more energy than they release
know and understand the ATP cycle
know how to identify and comprehend a exergonic and endergonic graph
hydrolysis
adds water
dehydration synthesis
removes water
What is an example of an exergonic reaction and an endergonic reaction?
hotosynthesis is a type of endergonic reaction where energy is stored, and cellular respiration is a type of exergonic reaction where energy is released. Energy is released in the form of heat.
ATP
the process that recycles energy within a cell.
