Document Summary
Metabolism is defined as all the enzyme-catalyzed reactions taking place in the body of a living organism. Metabolic reactions are of 2 types: catabolic reactions, anabolic reactions. Catabolic reactions: large molecules are broken down to produce smaller molecules; energy is produced. Anabolic reactions: cell uses energy to produce the molecules it needs for growth and repair. Anabolic and catabolic reactions are continuously occurring in the cells. Metabolic reaction are organized into sequences called metabolic pathways. They are a series of consecutive biochemical reactions used to convert a strain material into an end product. Such pathways may be: linear, in which a series of reaction generates a final product, cyclic, where a series of reactions regenerates the first reactant (substrate) Atp and adp rediliy undergo hydrolysis reaction in which phosphate group (inorganic phosphate) are released. The phosphate phostphate bonds in atp and adp are very reactive bonds. They require less than normal energy to break.
