Metabolism terms, Glycolysis, Pyruvate Oxydation Flashcards
Catabolic pathways
Products have less energy
Anabolic pathways
Products have more energy
ATP full name
Adenosine triphosphate
ATP components
Triphosphate - Ribose sugar - Adenine
What processes use ATP?
Chemical, transport, mechanical
Cellular respiration with glucose
C⁶H¹²O⁶ + 6 O² –> 6 CO² + 6 H²O + Energy
Redox reaction
Transfer of electrons during chemical reactions
Oxidation
Substance loses electrons
Reduction
Substance gains electrons (charge is reduced)
Metabolic pathway
Multiple steps, each catalyzed by an enzyme
ADP full name
Adenosine Diphosphate
Cellular Respiration
Organic molecules broken down to get energy
Respiratory exchange
Exchange of gasses (O² and CO²) between organism and enviroment
Aerobic
Requires O², get ATP
Anaerobic: Anaerobic respiration
Similar to aerobic respiration, uses something else in place of oxygen
