Document Summary

Metabolism, sum of all of the chemical processes. Catabolism - taking complex molecules and breaking them down into simpler ones. Involves electron transfer which represents that release of energy. Energy is captured in high energy transfer compounds. Figure 5. 1 metabolism, the sum of catabolism and anabolism. Energy captured in high energy bonds of atp and other molecules. Redox reactions: table 5. 1 comparison of oxidation and reduction. Endothermic; endergonic (requires energy, such as heat: reactions are coupled - electrons cannot exist alone in solution. Cant have an oxidation with out a reduction. Autotrophs - assimilate carbon from inorganic sources - ex: co2. Heterotrophs - carbon from organic forms - heterotrophs are dependent on autotrophs for organic forms: energy - produce atp. Chemotrophs - require energy from oxidation of reduced organic or inorganic compounds. Figure 5. 2 the main types of energy capturing metabolism.
