Exam 5 Flashcards
The body’s chemical reactions
Metabolism
Reactions where chemicals are combined, layered chemicals/molecules are produced
Anabolic Reactions
What reactions are known as synthesis reactions, they are consumed/absorb energy(heat)
Anabolic Reactions
What reaction is this? x+y=xy
Anabolic reactions
Reactions where molecules are broken down into smaller chemicals
Catabolic Reactions
Known as decomposition reactions, release energy(heat)
Catabolic reactions
What reaction is this? XY=X+Y
catabolic reactions
Reactions where hydrogen atoms are broken off chemicals
Oxidation reactions
What molecule loses oxygen, HX=H+X
Oxidation reactions
Reactions where hydrogen atoms are added onto a chemical
Reduction Reactions
The main process that cells use glucose, carried out by all cells, series of 10 reactions
Glycolysis
Cycle of 8 reactions that occurs in mitochondria, Acetyl-CoA enters, Produces ATP, NADH, FADH, CO2
Krebs Cycle
Process that occurs in mitochondria, produces most of our cells ATP, Aerobic process; requires O2, Generates ATP and H2O
Electron transport chain
Breakdown of glycogen (animal starch) into glucose, occurs in muscle and liver cells, stimulated by symp. N.S and epi, glucagon
Glycogenolysis
glycogen anabolism from glucose, occurs in muscle and liver cells, stimulated by parasympathetic N.S and insulin
Glycogenesis
