Cp 5 Flashcards
micro metabolism
growth metabolism
chemical reactions that help create cell
metabolism
sum of chem reactions in a living system
maintenance metabolism
maintenance of metabolites, turgor pressure, cell structure repair, secretion, motility
4 macromolecules of life
carbs, lipids, proteins, nucleic acid
carbohydrates are
sugars, starch, cellulose
4 essential chemical processes for metabolism
enzymes mediated catalysis, redox reactions, reaction coupling, membranes to form gradients
enzyme mediated catalysis
accelerates slow reactions
redox reactions
harvest energy, concentrate it in ATP and reducing power
reaction coupling
links favorable to unfavorable to drive chemical processes
membranes to form gradients
drive ATP synthesis
growth metabolism steps
fueling reactions, make building blocks, make macromolecules, make cell structures, make two from one
fueling reactions
chemical/photochemical redox reactions to obtain energy
heterotroph carbon source
organic
autotroph carbon source
inorganic (CO2)
chemo- prefix meaning
chemicals for energy
