Document Summary

Catabolic pathways breakdown large molecules in a series of steps coupled to reactions that store energy in small carriers such as atp and nadh: anabolism. Using energy to build cell components: metabolism. Central biochemical pathways used for both (amphibolic: tca cycle, glycolysis, pentose phosphate shunt. Reduced geological compounds (rocks, inorganic compounds) (reduced) biological macromolecules (starch, fats) (energy source for animals) (first energy source) Carbon, nitrogen, water: activation energy- energy required to bring all molecules in a chemical reaction into the. Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate glyceraldehyde-3- phosphate + dihydroxyacetone phosphate aldolase enzyme: very specific for their substrate, cellulose vs. starch example enzyme or the substrate, enzymes can have small non-protein molecules that help in catalysis but aren"t part of the. Two types: prosthetic groups- bound tightly to their enzyme, usually covalently and permanently. Example- heme group in cytochromes: coenzymes- loosely bound to their enzyme, may associate with different enzymes, usually derivatives of vitamins.
