Chapter 17: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Body Temperature Regulation Flashcards
what reaction requires energy and builds larger molecules form smaller ones
anabolic reaction
what is an example of an anabolic reaction
amino acid + amino acid = dipeptide
what reaction takes larger molecules and break them down into smaller ones
catabolic reaction
what is an example of a catabolic reaction
dipeptide = amino acid + amino acid

what is the term for a substance that increases the speed or rate of a chemical reaction
enzyme
what is the term for substance that assists enzymes and is made from vitamins or minerals
coenzymes
what are some common coenzymes
NAD+, FAD, coenzyme A
What type of respiration does not require oxygen
anaerobic respiration
what type of respiration requires oxygen
aerobic respiration
What is the product of glycolysis; is it a lot or a little

the electron transport chain
Glucose is only used to make ATP in _____ and ______
RBCs; neurons
Where does anaerobic respiration take place
cytosol (cytoplasm)
What type of activity is glycolysis important for
strenuous, quick bursts of activity
when glucose is turned into __ _______, __ _____ and __ ______ is released
pyruvic acid; 2 ATP; 2 NADH
when 2 pyruvic acid are created only _______ of energy from glucose is extracted at this point
10%
the 2 pyruvic acid are turned into _______ when no oxygen is available which creates ______
2 lactic acid; 2 Lactate
