Metabolism Flashcards
Anabolic? Require energy?
Smaller molecules to larger ones, building up. Requires energy or ATP
Catabolic? Require energy?
Large molecules to smaller molecules. Releases energy.
What process is connected with anabolism?
Dehydration
What process is connected with catabolism?
Hydrolysis
Lypolysis
Fat breakdown
Glycogenolysis
Breakdown of glucagon into glucose
Glycolysis
Breakdown of glucose into pyruvate
Define oxidation
Lose of hydrogen, gain of oxygen
Define reduction
Gain of hydrogen, loss of oxygen
Define glycogenesis
Storing glucose in liver as glycogen
Cellular respiration equation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 38ATP + heat
What step of the cellular respiration is reversible?
Glycolysis
Is glucose oxidized or reduced during glycolysis?
Oxidized, because it loses the H+ and goes to NADH
What are the 2 possible steps of glycolysis?
Glucose turns into 2 pyruvic acids OR
IF NO OXYGEN IS AVAILABLE the pyruvic acid turns into lactic acid
How many ATP & NADH are created during glycolysis?
2 ATP
2 NADH
