chemical reactions Flashcards
reactants
substances that enter reaction
products
substances that result from reaction
metabolism
collective term used for all of bodies chemical reactions
anabolism
two or more reactants combine to form a new or larger products
synthesis
chemical bonds made and energy is stored in the bonds
anabolism responsible for
growth, maintenance, repair
Synthesis of ATP is what type of reaction
anabolic
dehydration reaction
anabolic or synthetic reaction where water is the product
catabolism
larger reactant is broken down to form smaller products
chemical bonds BROKEN and energy is released
Breakdown of ATP to form ADP + inorganic phosphate + energy is what type of reaction
catabolic
hydrolysis reaction
water is broken down into two parts
reversible reactions
reaction can proceed either from reactants to products or products to reactants
equilibrium
rate of product formation is equal to rate of reactant formation
oxidation
loss of an electron by substance
reduction
gain of electron by a substance
oxidation-reduction reactions
complete or partial loss of electron is accompanied by gain of one substance
