Q

Anabolism

A

builds larger molecules from smaller ones and consume energy. cells use energy to perform anabolic reactions

Q

ATP (adenosine triphosphate)

A
  • sends energy to carry out anabolic reactions
  • temporary energy storage that’s been transferred from high energy catabolic reactions
  • Releases the energy when the cell requires it
  • high energy phosphate bonds store energy

Q

Glycolysis

A

Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol and has 2 ADP and glucose to start with and ends up with 2 ATP and 2 pyruvic acid (half glucose molecule)

Q

Citric Acid Cycle

A

occurs in the mitochondrion and you start with the pyruvic acid and 2 ADP and end up with 2 ATP and CO2

Q

Electric Transport Chain

A

also occurs in mitochondrion and starts with oxygen and 28 ADP and end up with 28 ATP and H2O

Q

Anaerobic

A

does not require oxygen same as glycolysis but end result is 2 ATP and lactic acid (can be recycled)
