Metabolism Flashcards
What is catabolism?
Degradation
What does catabolism do?
Provides the cell with energy from P-O bond
What does anabolism do?
Provide the cell with essential components
Are metabolic pathways reversible or irreversible?
Irreversible
What are intermediates in metabolic pathways called?
Metabolites
Step 1 of glycolysis?
Phosphorylation of glucose by the conversion of ATP to ADP
Step 2 of glycolysis?
Isomerism of the phosphorylated glucose into fructose
Step 3 of glycolysis?
Further phosphorylation
Step 4 of glycolysis?
Cleavage of the fructose bis-phosphate
Step 5 of glycolysis?
Isomerism of the ketones
Overall process of glycolysis?
Degradation of glucose to pyruvate/Acetyl coenzyme A
Step 6 of glycolysis?
Oxidation and phosphorylation of the isomer into aldehyde
Step 7 of glycolysis?
Removal of a phosphate by turning ADP into ATP
Step 8 of glycolysis?
Isomerism of the phosphate group
Step 9 of glycolysis?
Dehydration to a compound suitable for dephosphorylation
