Chapter 13 Flashcards
amidation reaction
A reaction in which a carboxylic acid and an amine combine to form an amide
amide
An organic compound that contains a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom
anabolic pathway
The metabolic pathways that build large molecules from smaller ones and that consume energy
ATP Cycle
The reactions that make ATP from ADP and phosphate and then break the ATP back down, storing energy and then releasing it
catabolic pathway
The metabolic pathways that break down large molecules into smaller ones and that release energy
condensation reaction
A reaction in which two molecules combined to make a larger molecule and a molecule of water.
copolymer
A large molecule that is built from alternating molecules of two smaller substances
ester
An organic compound that contains an oxygen atom bonded to both a carbonyl group and an alkyl group
esterification reaction
A reaction that combines an alcohol and a carboxylic acid to make an ester
ether
An organic compound that contains an oxygen atom bonded to two alkyl groups
hydrolysis reaction
A reaction in which a large molecule reacts with water, forming two smaller molecules
metabolism
All of the reactions that occur in a living organism
phosphoester
A compound formed when a phosphate ion condenses with an alcohol
phosphorylation reaction
A reaction that adds a phosphate group to another molecule
polymer
A large molecule that is built from repeating molecules of a smaller substance
