Cellular Metabolism
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is the metabolic process: | All chemical reactions that occur in the body |
What are 2 types of metabolic reactions: | Anabolism and Catabolism |
Anabolism | Small molecules to large molecules that require energy |
Catabolism | Large molecules broken down to small molecules that releases energy |
What is the Dehydration Synthesis: | an anabolic process that creates carbs, triglycerides and proteins by linking monomers; removing water |
What is the Hydrolysis Synthesis: | a catabolic process that breaks down carbs, lipids and proteins by adding water |
What is an Enzyme: | a protein that functions as a catalyst by speeding up chemical reactions |
What suffix is used to describe an enzyme: | -ASE (amylase, lipase, hydrolase) |
What is a Metabolic Pathway: | a series of enzyme controlled reactions leading to a formation of a product |
Which feedback loop is used to regulate metabolic pathways: | A Negative feedback loop |
What role does cofactors and coenzymes have on the shape and function of the enzyme: | The coenzyme act as a cofactor which helps to form the active site into the proper shape so it can bind to the substrate |
What is an ATP: | an ATP is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level |
What 3 parts make up ATP: | Adenine, Ribose, and Three Phosphate Groups |
