METABOLISM Flashcards
1
Q
- Synthesis of compounds from smaller raw materials
- Endergonic and divergent process
A
Anabolic
2
Q
- Breakdown of larger molecules
- Usually oxidative reactions
- Exergonic and convergent process
- Produces reducing equivalents and ATP mainly via the respiratory chain
A
Catabolic
3
Q
- Crossroads of metabolism
- Link between anabolic and catabolic pathways
- Example: Citric Acid Cycle
A
Amphibolic
