Metabolism Flashcards
metabolism
chemical reaction occurring in cell for living, growing and dividing
anabolism
production of new cell component, process requires energy (making of amino acids or proteins)
catabolism
obtain energy and reduce power from nutrients (cellular respiration)
endergonic
less complex, anabolic
exergonic
complex, catabolic
carbohydrates / some amino acids / glycerol
glycolysis
fatty acids / some amino acids
pyruvate oxidation
some amino acids
citric acid cycle
degradation biological macro-molecules
glycolysis ~> pyruvate oxidation ~> citric acid cycle ~> oxydative phosphorilation
homeostasis
steady state, thermoregulation
ectotherm
behavioral regulation
endotherm
internal regulation
melatonine
makes you sleep
body temperature decrease
paracrine signalling
cell gives close signal to an other cell
synaptic signalling
signals produced bu the synapse of nerve system
