Document Summary

Notes i: topic 1 - 10 (vesicular transport: aikins. E. coli is great at growing and dividing. To grow, requires carbon source (glucose), nh4. Must convert these into amino acids, nucleotides, lipids, sugars, vitamins (coenzymes), macromolecules (dna, rna, proteins, polysaccharides) Converts glucose small molecules (pyruvate) through a glycolytic cycle: generates some atp. 3-, convert pyruvate into nucleotides, amino acids, lipids, etc. These other biosynthesis mechanisms are endergonic and anabolic. Conversion of pyruvate to carbon dioxide is called the kreb"s or tca cycle: generates a lot of atp. Overall conversion of glucose to carbon dioxide and atp is catabolic and exergonic: catabolic breaks down the glucose molecules, exergonic releases energy (captured in the form of atp) Breakdown of glucose and synthesis of new compounds occurs through interconnected pathways involving many different reactions. Metabolism the chemical reactions that occur in a cell. Cellular reactions are governed by the same rules that govern all chemical reactions.
