Catabolism Flashcards
1
Q
what is catabolism
A
breaking down of large molecules in smaller ones, the delta G knot ‘ is -ive
2
Q
what is anabolism
A
synthesize of large molecules from smaller one delta G knot ‘ is +ive
3
Q
what is metabolic pathway
A
series of enzymes that act sequnetially. product from one enzyme is the substrate for the next. there are catabolic, anabolic, and amphibolic pathways
4
Q
ATP synthesis 3 types
A
substrate level, oxidative and photophosphorylation
5
Q
eg of substate level (P)
A
substrate-P —> substrate. ADP—-> ATP
6
Q
oxidative phosphorylation
A
oxidation of chemicals is used to produce a PMF. PMF supplies the nrg for ATP synthesis using ATP synthase
7
Q
photophosphorylation
A
light nrg used to create a PMF, which is used to synthesis ATP using ATP synthase
