Energy And Metabolism Flashcards
1
Q
Catabolism definition
A
Breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones, generally releasing energy
2
Q
Anabolism
A
Synthesis of large molecules from smaller ones, generally absorbing energy
3
Q
Four stages of catabolism
A
Digestion,
formation of Acetyl CoA,
Citric Acid Cycle,
Electron Transfer Chain and Oxidative Phosphorylation
4
Q
Step one of glycolysis
A
Glucose to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate
5
Q
Step two of glycolysis
A
F-1,6-BP split into Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone, which is converted to G-3-BP
6
Q
Step three of glycolysis
A
ATP is generated when G-3-P is oxidised to pyruvate
