Metabolism

Cards (14)

  • Anabolism
    Metabolic pathways that synthesize larger molecules from smaller units. REQUIRES ENERGY.
    EX) Anabolic steroids help make muscle.
  • Catabolism
    Metabolic pathways that break down molecules into smaller units. Does not require energy as it produces it.
  • Cells constantly
    Break down ATP and regenerate it.
  • Oxidation Reduction Reactions
    ATP Synthesis involves the exchange of ions in the form of hydrogen ions from the energy-yielding compounds.
  • NAD
    Niacin
    Requires vitamin
  • FAD
    Riboflavin
    Requires Vitamin
  • NAD & FADH2
    Can pick up an electron and take it to the ETC.
    After they pick up an electron the turn into NADH and FADH2.
  • A substance is _____ when it gains 1 or more electrons.
    It also loses oxygen and gains an H
    Reduced
  • A substance is _____ when it loses one or more electrons/ a hydrogen. It gains oxygen here

    oxidized
  • Enzymes
    Facilitate metabolic reactions
  • Carbohydrate Metabolism
    Glycogen Metabolism:
    Glycogenesis- glycogen to glucose
    & Glycogenolysis
  • Oxidation of Glucose
    Glycolysis (breaking)
  • Forming of Glucose
    Gluconeogenesis
  • Oxidation of Fatty Acids
