Definition of Metabolism
All chemical reactions of life
Definition of Anabolic reactions
Making larger molecules out of smaller molecules
Definition of Catabolic reactions
Breaking down larger molecules into smaller molecules
Definition of Exergonic reactions
Release more energy than they require
Definition of Endergonic reactions
Require more energy than they release
Example of Anabolic reactions
Dehydration synthesis
Example of Catabolic reactions
Hydrolysis
Exergonic reactions includes
Hydrolysis = Catabolism
Endergonic reactions includes
Dehydration synthesis = anabolism
ATP/ADP Cycle
ATP to ADP(Catabolic/Exergonic) ADP to ATP(Anabolic/Endergonic)
Catalysts do what to reactions
Speed them up
Energy required is more than energy released: Is this Endergonic or Exergonic?
Endergonic
Energy released is more than energy required: Is this Endergonic or Exergonic?
Exergonic
