Chapter 8: Metabolism Flashcards
(115 cards)
all chemical reactions that take place in cells to break down or build molecules
Metabolism
is a series of linked reactions, each catalyzed by a specific enzyme
Metabolic Pathway
types of metabolism
- Anabolism
- Catabolism
that break down large, complex molecules to provide energy and smaller molecules
Catabolic Reactions
use ATP energy to build larger molecules
Anabolic reactions
Stages of Metabolism
Stage 1: Digestion and Hydrolysis
Step 2: Degradation
Step 3: Oxidation
____ __ ____break down large molecules to smaller ones that enter the bloodstream
Stage 1: Digestion and Hydrolysis
______ breaks down molecules to two- and three-carbon compounds
Stage 2: Degradation
_____ oxidation of small molecules in the citric acid cycle and electron transport provide ATP energy (electrons are carried by NADH and FADH2)
Stage 3: Oxidation
Is the energy form stored in cells.
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)
ATP requires…..
7.3 kcal/mol (or 31 kJ/mol) to convert ADP + Pi to ATP.
What does ATP consists of?
- adenine (nitrogen base),
- a ribose sugar
- Three phosphate groups
The hydrolysis of ATP to ___ releases __ ____ (31 kJ)/mole.
- ADP
- 7.3 kcal
The hydrolysis of ADP to ___ releases 7.3 kcal (___ ___)/mole.
- AMP
- 31 kJ)/mole.
- Used in anabolic reactions
- The energy-storage molecule.
- Coupled with energy-requiring reactions
ATP
Hydrolysis products
ADP + Pi
often associated with the loss of H atoms
Oxidation
is associated with the gain of H atoms
Reduction
3 coenzyme in metabolism
- NAD+
- FAD
- Coenzyme A
Abbreviation of NAD+
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
Participates in reactions that produce a carbon-oxygen double bond (C=O)
NAD+
NAD+ is reduced when an oxidation provides…
2H+ and 2e-
Contents of NAD+
- ADP
- Ribose
- nicotinamide
Participates in reactions that produce a carbon carbon double bond (C=C).
FAD
