Document Summary

Catabolic & anabolic reactions: metabolism is universal so it"s broken down into: Catabolism: complex macromolecules are brought into the cell and are broken down into smaller units - usually generate atp from this breakdown. Anabolism: use atp to make more complex molecules: metabolic pathway: sequence of enzymatically catalyzed chemical reactions in a cell. Determined by enzymes (which are encoded by genes) Energy production: atp: usable energy currency. Lose a lot of energy in the form of heat when converted o. Oxidation = removal of electrons or h+ (gain of oxygen) Reduction = gain of electrons or h+ (loss of oxygen) o. Redox reaction is an oxidation reaction paired with a reduction reaction. Oxidizing it over and over again will give more energy (highly reduced compounds have a lot of potential energy) Glucose is the preferred sugar (carbohydrate - has lots of hydrogens to give up) o. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nad) has a positive charge when it"s the oxidized form.
