Chapter 22- Metabolic Pathways For Carbohydrates and chapter 23-metabolism and energy production Flashcards
Metabolism
All chemical reactions that provide energy and the substances required for continues cell growth
Catabolic reactions
Complex molecules are broken down to simpler ones with the accompanying release of energy
Anabolic reactions
Utilize energy available in the cell to build large molecules from simple ones
Three stages of catabolic reactions
Stage 1- digestion; breaks down the large macromolecules into small monomer units
Stage 2- carbohydrates are broken down further and create pyruvate
Stage 3- carbons enter citric acid cycle and produce further CO2 and reduced coenzymes
Eukaryotic cells
Cells in plants and animals
Prokaryotic cells
Cells in single called organisms such as bacteria
No nucleus
Cell membrane
Lipid bilayer that separates the materials inside the cell from the aqueous environment outside the cell
Nucleus
Contains gene that control DNA replication and protein synthesis in the cell
Cytoplasm
Consists of all the materials between the nucleus and the membrane
Cytosol
The fluid part of the cytoplasm
Catalyze many of the cells chemical reactions
Endoplasmic reticulum
Two forms-
Rough- proteins are processed for secretion and phospholipids are synthesized
Smooth- fats and steroids are synthesized
Colgi complex
Modifies proteins it receives from the rough endoplasmic reticulum, secretes modifies proteins into fluid surrounding the cell, and forms glycoproteins and cell membranes
Lysosomes
Contain enzymes that break down recyclable cellular structures that are no longer needed by the cell
Mitochondria
Energy-producing factories of the cells
Outer membrane and inner membrane
Matrix
Fluid section surrounded by the inner membrane
ATP molecule
Base adenine, ribose sugar, and three phosphoryl groups
Energy per mole of ATP
7.3 kcals
ATP hydrolysis
ATP undergoes hydrolysis to give energy, adenosine diphosphate (adp) and HPO4(2-)
ATP–> ADP+Pi+ 7.3 kcal/mole
ATP molecules hydrolyzed per second
1-2 million
What drives reactions?
ATP
Coupling of reactions
Many reactions do not occur naturally but can be made by coupling them with a reaction that releases energy
These reactions are also used to transmit impulses, transport substances across membranes and to contract muscles
