Document Summary

The totality of an organism"s chemical reactions, consisting of catabolic and anabolic pathways which manage the material and energy resources of an organism. Manages the material and energy resources of the cell. A specific molecule is altered in a series of steps, resulting in a product which each step catalyzed by a specific enzyme. Release energy by breaking down complex molecules to simpler compounds. Downhill -- energy released from downhill reaction can be stored and used to drive the uphill reaction. Ex: cellular respiration where glucose is broken down into co2 and h2o in the presence of oxygen. Consume energy to build complex molecules from simpler ones. Ex: synthesis of a protein from amino acids. Uphill -- used energy stored from downhill reaction. Bioenergetics: the study of how energy flow through living organisms. The capacity to cause change, rearrange a collection of matter and move matter against opposing forces. Moving objects perform work by imparting motion to other matter.
