breakdown of larger molecule into smaller molecules
catabolism
release energy
catabolism
splitting of water
hydrolysis
increases the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy
enzymes
multiple step reactions must occur in a particular sequence
metabolic pathways
capacity do to work
energy
the process that transfers energy from molecules and makes it available for cellular use in the form of ATP
cellular respiration
DNA info is copied to RNA(mRNA) that is being assembled according to complementary base pairing
transcription
the converting from the language of nucleic acids(base) to the language of amino acids
