metabolic pathways Flashcards
1
Q
metabolism
A
the sun total of all chemical reactions occurring within a cell
2
Q
metabolic pathways
A
a series of chemical reactions that follow on in stages
- are integrated and controlled pathways of enzyme-catalysed reactions
- irreversible or reversible
- involves anabolism and catabolism
3
Q
anabolic
A
build up large molecules from many smaller molecules and require energy
4
Q
catabolic
A
breaks down large molecules into smaller ones and releases energy
5
Q
ATP in reactions
A
- used in anabolic reactions
- plays apart in transferring energy from catabolic to anabolic reactions
