Document Summary

Small molecule that stores energy or chemical groups in a form that can be donated to many different metabolic reactions. Energy that must be acquired by a molecule to undergo a chemical reaction. Nucleoside diphosphate produced by hydrolysis of the terminal phosphate of atp. Set of metabolic pathways by which large molecules are made from smaller ones. Enzyme-catalyzed process by which complex molecules are formed from simple substances by living cells; also called anabolism. Set of enzyme-catalyzed reaction by which complex molecules are degraded to simpler ones with release of energy; intermediates in these reactions are sometimes called catabolites. Acceleration of a chemical reaction brought about by the action of a catalyst; virtually all reactions in a cell require such assistance to occur under conditions present in living organisms. Substance that accelerates a chemical reaction by lowering its activation energy; enzymes perform this role in cells.
