Ch. 7: Metabolism

Question 1

Metabolism

Answer 1

The sum of all the chemical and physical changes that occur in body tissues when food is converted from large molecules to small molecules

Question 2

Anabolism

Answer 2

The process of making new molecules from smaller ones

Question 3

Where does glycolysis occur?

Answer 3

Cytosol (cytoplasm)

Question 4

Condensation

Answer 4

An anabolic process by which smaller, chemically simple compounds are joined with the removal of water

Question 5

Hydrolysis

Answer 5

Breaking apart a molecule by the addition of water

Question 6

Phosphorylation

Answer 6

The addition of one or more phosphate groups to a chemical compound
-Catabolic

Glucose + ATP ==> Glucose Phosphate + ADP

Question 7

Oxidation-reduction reaction

Answer 7

Reactions in which electrons are lost by one compound and simultaneously gained by another compound

Question 8

Metabolic Pathways

Answer 8

Chemical reactions that occur sequentially and achieve a particular goal
e.g. glucose for energy

Question 9

Redox reaction important to metabolism

Answer 9

Going back and forth between FAD and FADH

Question 10

Coenzymes

Answer 10

A molecule that combines with an enzyme to activate it and help it do its job
- Most are b-vitamins

Question 11

Cofactors

Answer 11

A chemically simple substance that is required for enzyme activity
-typically minerals

Question 12

Glucokinase

Answer 12

An enzyme that adds a phosphate group to a molecule of glucose
