All the chemical reactions that occur in the body required for life
Metabolism
Chemical reactions by which larger molecules are broken down into smaller ones called metabolites
Catabolism
Chemical reactions in which metabolites combine to form larger molecules
Anabolism
Intermediates that can be recombined later
Metabolites
What chemical reaction is hydrolysis and oxidation?
Catabolism
Does catabolism require or produce energy?
produce; endergonic
Does anabolism require or produce energy?
requires; exergonic
What chemical reaction is condensation and reduction?
Anabolism
ATP and acetyl CoA release energy through exergonic _____ reactions, and store energy through endegonic _____ reactions
ATP and acetyl CoA release energy through exergonic hydrolysis reactions, and store energy through endergonic condensation reactions
NADH and FADH2 release energy through exergonic _____ reactions, and
store energy through endergonic _____ reactions
NADH and FADH2 release energy through exergonic oxidation reactions, and

What is used to get energy from lipids?
Beta oxidation
Lipids are ___ to ____
Lipids are hydrolyzed to fatty acids
Proteins are ____ to _____
Proteins are hydrolyzed to amino acids
Sugars are ____ to ____
Sugars are hydrolyzed to make glucose and fructose
The catabolism of glucose to pyruvate
Glycolysis
What are the two “clocks” of radiometric dating? When to use? Assumptions?
- Equilibrium decay clock (living organisms)
- Accumulation clock
Methods: (nonliving)- model age method: have to know the beginning daughter amount
- isochron method: have to be the same age & spread out data
What is neutron triggered fission of some isotopes? Benefits?
Nuclear power; produces heat with little power
What is the process of using radiation to determine the age of a sample?
Radiometric Dating
What is radiation that directly treats illness by killing it?
Radioactive therapy
What process uses gamma-emmiters to scan?
Medical imaging
What is the amount of radiation absorbed?
Absorbed dose Dt
What is the waiting factor to make all forms of radiation equal?
Equivalent dose Ht
What is the dose that takes the body into account and the effects on the organ?
Effective dose E
Nuclear reaction v. chemical reaction
nuclear- change in atom’s nucleus
chemical- change in electrons
