Finals: METABOLISM

Question 1

-metabolism:

Answer 1

total of an organism’s chemical reaction

Question 2

-metabolic pathway:

Answer 2

series of chemical reactions that either builds a complex molecule or breaks down a complex molecule into simpler compounds, A → B → C →, product to reactant, each require different enzyme

Question 3

-example of metabolic pathway

Answer 3

is slow burn of cellular respiration (sequence of reactions slowly releases the potential energy stored in sugar), glycosis, krebs cycle, calvin

Question 4

-intermediates:

Answer 4

compounds that form between initial reactant glucose and final product, pyruvate

Question 5

enzymes invovled with metabolism:

Answer 5

each reactions need its own enzyme
