Chpt 4 - Metabolic Reactions (4.1 - 4.4)

Front

ANABOLISM

Back

Provides the biochemicals required for cell growth and repair by joining individual molecules together to form more complex molecules. An example of anabolism is called dehydration synthesis.

Front

CATABOLISM

Back

Breaks down larger molecules into smaller ones. An example of catabolism is hydrolysis which breaks down carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins and splits a water molecule in the process.

Front

The anabolism of monosaccharides produces:

Back

glycogen and water

Front

The anabolism of glycerol and fatty acid molecules forms:

Back

triglyceride (fat) and three molecules of water

Front

The anabolism of amino acids forms

Back

proteins and water

Front

DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS:

Back

joins simple sugars to form larger glycogen molecules and produces water as a by-product

Front

HYDROLYSIS

Back

reactions that break down complex molecules into their simpler components, as well as split water molecules

Front

Enzymes molecules

Back

promote metabolic reactions without being consumed (catalysis)

Front

substrate molecules

Back

Target enzyme reactions

Front

Almost all enzymes are: carbohydrates, lipids (fats), proteins

Back

proteins
