Cellular Metabolisms Flashcards
2 Large Scale metabolic processes
Photosynthesis
Cellular Respiration
______ rises with each level of energy consumption as energy moves between these systems
Entropy
The process by which glucose is converted into ATP
Cellular Respiration
Create larger molecules (small to large)
Anabolic
Breakdown of larger molecules into smaller molecules
Catabolic
An increase in electrons coming from a molecule
Reduction
Removes water molecule and synthesizes larger molecules
Dehydration
Adding water to split larger molecules into smaller molecules
Hydrolysis
Organisms mix oxygen with food molecules, directing the chemical contained toward life-sustaining process, excretes CO2 and H2O.
Cellular Respiration
Process of breaking down food by organisms that do not require oxygen
Fermentation
Glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvate molecules.
Glycolysis
___ is able to absorb and store the energy during the breakdown of glucose and other organic fuel molecules.
ATP
During Glycolysis, the substance NAD+ is changed into ____
NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide + Hydrogen)
Sometimes referred to as Krebs Cycle or citric acid cycle
Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle (TCA Cycle)
Results in the production of energy in it’s various stages
TCA Cycle
Process in which the energy in food are preserved and made available to the cell
Oxidative phosphorylation
Electrons go from Silicon to Oxygen. Allows a steady reduction in electron energy
Electron Transport Chain
