7.3 bio Flashcards
Metabolism
the chemical reactions in the body’s cells that change food into energy.
anabolic
making larger molecules out of smaller ones
Ex. Nucleotides together to make nucleic acids
Catabolic
Breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones
Ex. Hydrolysis
Exergonic
release more energy than they require
includes: hydrolysis=catabolism
Endergonic
requires more energy than released
includes: dehydration synthesis=anabolism
Hydrolysis
a chemical reaction in which a chemical compound is broken down by reaction with water.
synthesis
to make
Relate vocab terms to each other
anabolic=endergonic
catabolic= exergonic
Which parts of the ATP cycle correlate with the vocab terms above
condensation reaction= endergonic+anabolic
Phosphate transfer= exergonic+catabolic
Give an example of an exergonic reaction being linked with an endergonic reaction and why they must occur in that order
Exergonic needs to happen first, because that provides the energy needed for endergonic reactions.
