Document Summary
Review: catabolic and anabolic pathways (*recording starts here*) This is what happens what lactic acid is oxidized. Electrons are transferred to electron carrier molecules: nad+ (nadh, fad (fadh2) Reduced forms of the electron carriers are used in the electron transport chain to generate atp. Only one of the two protons are held by the. Both of the two protons from the molecule being reduced, are held by the fad molecule. Atp - universal carrier of biological energy. Gtp is also a universal carrier of energy. Anabolism: consumes atp (building macromolecules from smaller molecules; requires atp) Catabolism is spontaneous while anabolism requires energy input. Free energy is the energy released by a spontaneous reaction or the energy required for a spontaneous reaction to take place. G is a value that describes the spontaneity of a reaction: g < 0 the reaction is spontaneous, g = 0 the reaction is at equilibrium, g > 0 the reaction is endergonic.
