Metabolism can be divided into ___ parts.
2
Metabolism can be divided into two parts: ___ and ___.
anabolism
catabolism
Includes reactions that build larger, more complex substances from simpler substances, such as the building of a large protein from individual amino acids.
Anabolism (ah-nab-oh-liz-em)
The process is similar to the building of a brick wall from individual bricks.
Anabolism
These reactions generally require an input of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Anabloic
Includes reactions that break down larger, more complex substances into simpler substances, such as the breakdown of a large protein into individual amino acids.
Catabolism (kah-tab-oh-liz-em)
This process is similar to the knocking down of a brick wall.
Catabolism
This process releases energy that is converted into ATP and used to “run” the body.
Catabolism
Organic compounds composed of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O).
Carbohydrates
Classified according to size.
Carbohydrates
Bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, and jelly beans.
Carbohydrates
Single sugar compounds.
Monosaccharides (mon-oh-sak-ah-rides)
Mono =
single
Saccharide =
sugar.
Double sugars compounds.
Disaccharides (dye-sak-ah-rides)
