BIOCHEMICAL PROD Flashcards
The sum total of all the biochemical reactions that takes place in living organism
METABOLISM
Is all metabolic reactions in which large biochemical molecules are broken down to smaller ones
CATABOLISM
Is all metabolic reactions in which small biochemical molecules are joined together to form larger ones
ANABOLISM
it usually releases energy
CATABOLISM
It usually requires energy
ANABOLISM
A series of consecutive biochemical reactions used to convert a starting material into an end product
METABOLIC PATHWAY
Generates a final product
LINEAR METABOLIC PATHWAY
Regeneration of first reactant
CYCLIC METABOLIC PATHWAY
An organelle that is responsible for the generation of most of the energy for a cell
MITOCHONDRION
Sausage-shaped organelles containing both an outer membrane, and a multifolded inner membrane
MITOCHONDRIA
It is about 50% lipid and 50% protein, is freely permeable to small molecules
OUTER MEMBRANE
It is about 20% lipid and 80% protein, is highly impermeable to most molecules
INNER MEMBRANE
Region between outer and inner membrane
INTERMEMBRANE
These are folds in the matrix
CRISTAE
Responsible in ATP synthesis
ATP SYNTHASE COMPLEX
Functional group derived from a phosphate ion that is part of another molecule
PHOSPHORYL GROUP
Chemical bond formed when two phosphate groups react with each other and a water molecule is produced
PHOSPHOANHYDRIDE BOND
readily undergo hydrolysis reactions in which phosphate groups are released
ATP AND ADP
source of Phosphate group and energy
ATP
a coenzyme required in numerous metabolic redox reactions
FAD
The active portion of FAD
Flavin subunit molecule
oxidized form of flavin
FAD
reduced form of flavin
FADH2
A coenzyme in metabolic redox pathways just like FAD
NAD
active portion of NAD
Nicotinamide subunit molecule
oxidized form of nicotinamide
NAD
Reduced form
NADH
An important coenzyme in metabolic pathways that is a derivative of the B vitamin pantothenic acid
Coenzyme A
