Metabolism involves
catabolic reactions that break down large, complex molecules to provide energy and smaller molecules.
anabolic reactions that use ATP energy to build larger molecules.
break down large, complex molecules to provide energy and smaller molecules.
catabolic reactions
use ATP energy to build larger molecules.
anabolic reactions
Catabolic reactions are organized in stages
Stage 1, 2, 3?
Stage 1: Digestion and hydrolysis break down large molecules to smaller ones that enter the bloodstream.
Stage 2: Within the cells, degradation breaks down molecules to two- and three-carbon compounds.
Stage 3: Oxidation of small molecules in the citric acid cycle and electron transport provides ATP energy.
Catabolic reactions
Stage 1:
Digestion and hydrolysis break down large molecules to smaller ones that enter the bloodstream.
Catabolic reactions
Stage 2:
Within the cells, degradation breaks down molecules to two- and three-carbon compounds.
Catabolic reactions
Stage 3:
Oxidation of small molecules in the citric acid cycle and electron transport provides ATP energy.
The ATP molecule, composed of
the base adenine, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups, hydrolyzes to form ADP and AMP along with a release of energy.
A. used in anabolic reactions

What are the Important Coenzymes in Metabolic Pathways?
NAD+
NADP+
FAD
Coenzyme A
Coenzyme A (CoA) is made up of several components:
pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), phosphorylated ADP, and aminoethanethiol.
NAD+
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
is an important coenzyme in which the vitamin niacin provides the nicotinamide group, which is bonded to ribose and the nucleotide adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
NAD+
is required in dehydrogenation reactions that produce carbon–oxygen double bonds, such as the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones.
NAD+
NADP+
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
is used in anabolic reactions, such as lipid and nucleic acid synthesis.
is reduced to form NADPH
NADP+
Used in phosphate pentose pathway… a coenzyme only used here…
NADP+ or NADPH
FAD name?
flavin adenine dinucleotide
contains ADP and riboflavin (vitamin B2).
undergoes reduction when the two nitrogen atoms in the flavin part of the FAD coenzyme react with two hydrogen atoms (2H+ + 2 e−), reducing it to FADH2.
Coenzyme FAD, flavin adenine dinucleotide
The coenzyme FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) made from riboflavin (vitamin B2) and adenosine diphosphate is reduced to
FADH2 by adding two hydrogen atoms.
participates in reactions that produce a carbon-carbon double bond.
is reduced to FADH2 with the aide of enzyme succinate dehydrogenase.
Think Succinate —> Fumarate
FAD, flavin adenine dinucleotide
is derived from a phosphorylated ADP and pantothenic acid bonded by an amide bond to aminoethanethiol, which contains the —SH reactive part of the molecule.
Coenzyme A
Important functions of coenzyme A include
preparation of small acyl groups such as acetyl for reactions with enzymes.
production of the energy-rich thioester acetyl CoA.
which steps for all pathways do we need FAD?
What about NAD?
What about NADP?
