Biochemical Production Flashcards
The process of Biochemistry
Biochemical Production
The sum total of all the biochemical reactions that take place in a living organism
Metabolism
Large biochemical molecules broken down to smaller ones
Catabolism
Small biochemical molecules joined to form larger ones
Anabolism
The features of cells
Metabolism and Cell Structure
No nucleus and only found in bacteria
Prokaryotic Cells
Membrane-enclosed nucleus in DNA
Eukaryotic Cells
Water-based materials between the inner and outer Cell
Cytoplasm
Minute structure within the Cytoplasm carrying its destination
Organelle
Water-based fluid part of the Cytoplasm
Cytosol
Named organelle containing hydrolytic structures
Lysosome
Generates energy of the Cell
Mitochondrion
The metabolic processes
Important Nucleotide-Containing Compounds in Metabolic Pathways
Chemical bond formed from two phosphate groups subjected to each other
Phosphoanhydride Bond
Flavin to Ribitol to ADP
Flavine Adenine Dinucleotide (FAD and FAD2)
Nicotinamide to Ribose to ADP
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+ and NADH)
2-Aminoethanethiol to Pantothenic Acid to Phosphorylated ADP
Coenzyme A (CoA-SH)
Acetic acid molecule remaining after
-OH group is removed
Acetyl Group
Energy and transfer of phosphate groups
First Classification
Electrons in metabolic redox reactions
Second Classification
Acetyl groups
Third Classification
The compound that has a greater free energy of Hydrolysis than that of a typical compound
High-Energy Phosphate Compounds
The series of biochemical reactions in which acetyl portion of acetyl CoA is oxidized to carbon dioxide
Citric Acid Cycle
The series of biochemical reactions in which electrons and hydrogen ions from NADH and FADH2 are passed to immediate carriers
Electron Transport Chain
