Document Summary

An introduction to metabolism study guide (chapter 6) Metabolism- the totality of an organism"s chemical reactions. Metabolic pathway- a specific molecule is altered in a series of defined steps, resulting in a product. Each step of the pathway is catalyzed by a specific enzyme. Catabolic pathway- metabolic pathways that break down complex molecules to simpler compounds, and release energy. Anabolic pathway- consume energy to build complicated molecules from simpler ones. Kinetic energy- energy that is associated with the relative motion of objects. Potential energy- energy that matter possesses because of its location or structure. When its not moving, energy that is not kinetic. Chemical energy- the potential energy available for release in a chemical reaction. (molecules in the beginning of a catabolic reaction would have a lot of this) Thermal energy- kinetic energy associated with the random movement of atoms or molecules, (thermal energy in transfer from on object to another is called heat. )
