Question | Answer |
---|---|
Metabolism | Total of all chemical reactions in the cell |
two parts of metabolism | Catabolism and Anabolism |
Catabolism Fueling | reactions |
Catabolism Energy | conserving reactions |
Catabolism Provide | ready source of reducing power (electrons) |
Catabolism: | Generate precursors for biosynthesis |
Anabolism | synthesis of complex organic molecules from simpler ones |
Anabolism | Requires energy from fueling reactions |
Energy | Capacity to do work or cause particular changes |
Chemical work | Synthesis of complex molecules |
Transport work | Take up of nutrients, Elimination of wastes, and Maintenance of ion balances |
Mechanical work | Movement of organisms or cells, and Movement of internal structures |
ATP | used to transfer energy from cell's energy-conserving systems to systems that carry out cellular work |
Other energy currencies | CTP, GTP, TTP, UTP |
1st ATP component | Adenine (ribose) |
2nd ATP component | Adenine diphosphate (ADP) |
3rd ATP component | Adenine triphosphate (ATP) |
