Document Summary

Catabolism - break down of molecules: used to make energy, atp, nadh, fadh2. Anabolism - build up of molecules: use energy. Pyruvate is a precursor for acetyl coa for the tca cycle. Tca provides precursors for building other macromolecules needed for the body: tca is aerobic. Glucose serves as a major fuel in most organisms: can be used as a source of atp, can be used to supply the cell with amino acids, nucleotides, fatty acids, and many other metabolic intermediates. Glucose is pretty much efficient to make them all: can be stored as glycogen or starch for later use. Glycolysis - lysis of glucose: degradation of glucose to 2 molecules of pyruvate. Gluconeogenesis - birth of glucose: process of building glucose from smaller metabolites, such as pyruvate, uses most of the same enzymes in glycolysis (reversible) and some others. Synthases: catalyze condensation reactions without requirement for nucleoside triphosphates, don"t need atp.
