Metabolism Flashcards
1
Q
Synthesis of compounds from smaller raw materials
ENDERgonic and divergent process
A
ANABOLIC
i.e. protein and triglyceride synthesis, glycogenesis
2
Q
Breakdown of larger molecules
oxidative reactions
EXERgonic and convergent process
produces reducing equivalents and ATP mainly via the respiratory chain
A
CATABOLIC
i.e. glycolysis, beta oxidation, glycogenolysis
3
Q
Crossroads of metabolism
Link b/w anabolic and catabolic pathways
A
AMPHIBOLIC
i.e. Citric Acid Cycle
4
Q
