91320 Final: Metabolic Biochemistry
Document Summary
The break down of molecules to form the energy used from catabolic pathways. Energy in the form of atp. to perform cellular work (eg build proteins) (eg: glycolysis: metabolites: the substrates (reactants), intermediates, products of metabolic pathways, sources of energy, carbohydrates, proteins, fats and lipids. Carbohydrates (or sugars) form monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides . They all eventually contain the compound glucose which once broken down becomes vital in the production of atp. Atoms : (c, o, h) plentiful amount of oh groups. Different forms of glucose: starch polymer of glucose monosaccharide"s, cellulose d glucose, found primarily in plant cell walls, glycogen branched form of glucose primarily stored in liver and muscles. Proteins ( baked beans, chicken, meat, fish: the building blocks of cells and tissues. Some common proteins utilized in the body are hemoglobin (o2 transporter), enzymes (catalysts), trans membrane proteins (ion channels), actin (muscular contraction).
