Pre-lesson Concepts Flashcards
Chemical reactions in the cell that changes food into chemical energy
Goes with the Law of Conservation of Energy
Metabolism
Two Types of Metabolism
Catabolism & Anabolism
Constructive
Anabolism
Building-up (Simple to Complex)
Anabolism
Breaking-down (Complex to Simple)
Catabolism
- Constructive
- Produces complex molecules
- Needs energy
Anabolism
- Destructive
- Provides fuel
- Releases energy
Catabolism
Example of Anabolism
Photosynthesis
Example of Catabolism
Cellular Respiration
A common misconception on metabolism?
It is not similar to digestion
