Chapter 10: Metabolism Flashcards
___ is the sum total of all the reactions that take place in a living cell
Metabolism
These reactions are used to extract energy and materials from the environment
catabolism
use this energy and these materials to produce new molecules that will sustain the cell and allow it to propagate itself.
anabolism
The reactions are arranged into pathways, where the product
for one reaction is the ___ for the next reaction
reactant (substrate)
The arrangement of reactions looks very much like a ___ , but
instead of tracing the ___, the metabolic pathways trace the
___
wiring diagram
flow of electrons
flow of atoms and molecules
Every chemical reaction in metabolism is catalyzed by ___
enzyme
The enzymes are used like ___ to control the flow of material through
the pathways
valves
___ are driven by coupling them to spontaneous reactions
Nonspontaneous reactions
___ is needed drive metabolism
An outside source of energy
___ are arranged in pathways
metabolic reactions
The different topologies for metabolic pathways
linear
circular
spiral
Metabolism =
Catabolism + Anabolism
larger molecules are broken down into smaller ones in a process that usually releases energy
Catabolism
larger molecules are made from small ones in a process the usually requires energy
Anabolism
one of the common links between catabolism and anabolism is ___
ATP
Adenosine triphosphate
ATP
Adenosine triphosphate
is used to shuttle chemical energy from catabolism to anabolism
ATP
Adenosine triphosphate
Large Molecules ___ + ___ Large Molecules
___ ) ( ___
Small molecules ___ Small Molecules
ADP + Pi
catabolism anabolism
ATP
occurs in stages

Pyruvate Acetyl-COA Citric Acid Cycle Reduced Coenzymes Electron Transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation ATP
is the first stage of metabolism in which large molecules are broken down into small molecules that can be absorbed into the blood by the small intestine
digestion
Most metabolism reactions are ___
hydrolysis reactions
Proteins are hydrolyzed into ___
amino acids
Polysaccharides are hydrolyzed into ___
monosaccharides
