Exam 4- Chapter 23 Flashcards
catabolism
series of reactions in which one substance is broken down into smaller parts
nutrient monomers for catabolism to generrate ATP
-glucose —>
-fatty acids —->
-amino acids —->
-glucose —>breakdown of ingested & stored carbohydrates
-fatty acids —->broken down into free fatty acids & glycerol
-amino acids —-> break down proteins
anabolism
series of reactions in which smaller molecules are combined to make larger molecule
small cells used to make larger macromolecules
proteins
lipids
nucleic acids
carbohydrates
oxidation
gain of oxygen OR loss of electrons
reduction
loss of oxygen OR gain of electrons
substrate level phosphorylation
-uses an enzyme + substate to turn ADP > ATP
-used to make a small amount of energy (4 ATP)
-occurs during glycolysis and kreb’s cycle
oxidative phosphorylation
-occurs in a 2 step process
1. electron transport chain
2. chemiosmosis
-makes large amount of ATP (32-34 ATP)
glycolysis
the breakdown of glucose into 2 pyruvate molecules
makes (net) 2 ATP
whats the first step in cellular respiration
where does glycolysis occur
in cytoplasm
Exergonic reactions
release energy leaving products with less energy than original reactants possessed
most catabolic reactions are exergonic
Endergonic reactions
require input of energy to proceed
Most anabolic reactions are endergonic
