BIO LEC Flashcards
Sum of all chemical reaction in a cellular body
Metabolism
Two main types of Metabolism
Anabolism and Catabolism
Reaction that builds large reaction from smaller ones
Anabolism
Break larger molecules into smaller molecule
Catabolism
Ability of cells to do work
Energy
What is the three main function of energy
Ability of cells to do work
Catalyze reaction
Fight Entropy
A state of disarray in cell
Entropy
It is used to do transport work and mechanical work
ATP or energy
2 types of inhibition in enzymes
Competitive and non competitive
Changes shape of the enzyme
Non competitive
Directly interfere with the substrate
Competitive
All living things requires what?
Carbon and source of energt
Classification due to source of energy
Phototrophs
Chemotrophs
Phototrophs
ability to get their energy from the sun
Chemotrophs
get their energy from chemical compounds
Classificatioon due to carbon
Autotrophs
Heterotrophs
Reduces the inorganic carbon to C02
Autotrophs
Must get their carbon from organiccompounds
Heterotroph
Get their energy from sunlight
Phototrophs
Get their energy from chemical compounds
chemotrophs
Get their carbons from inorganic carbon CO2
Autotrophs
Get their carbon from organic compounds
Heterotrophs
Is used by plants to make glucose and cellulose
Carbon
For synthesizing protein and nucleic acids
Nitrogen
