7.3 Study Guide Flashcards
(11 cards)
Definition of Metabolism
All chemical reactions of life
Definition of Anabolic
Reactions making longer molecules out of smaller ones
Definition of Catabolic
Breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones
Def of Exergonic
Chemical reactions that release more energy than they require
Def of Endergonic
Chemical reactions that require more energy than released .
Definition of Hydrolysis
Chemical breakdown of compound from a reaction with water.
Definition of Synthesis
The production of chemical compounds
The ATP Cycle
The ATP releases energy when phosphate is removed- exergonic and catabolic and then energy is added when phosphate is added- endergonic and anabolic
Graph of Exergonic and Endergonic
A graph is Exergonic when the energy required is less than the energy that is released and a endergonic graph would be when the energy required is more than the energy released.
Relating vocab terms:
Anabolic is related to endergonic and Catbalic is related to exergonic
Give an example of an exergonic reaction being linked with an endergonic reaction and why they must occur in that order
The breakdown of ATP into ADP the ATP breaks down and releases energy as the ADP gains energy.
