MBB 222 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Urea Cycle, Atp Hydrolysis, Lipid Bilayer

27 views2 pages

Document Summary

In some reactions, as in the conversion of a to b, hydrolysis of atp is used to drive the reaction toward product formation. This figure shows three types of linked reactions commonly found in metabolism. The most common types are linear metabolic pathways, in which each reaction generates only a single product, which is a reactant for the next reaction in the pathway. In contrast, forked pathways usually generate two products, each of which undergoes a different metabolic fate. Lastly, cyclic pathways contain several metabolites that regenerate during each turn of the cycle, serving as both reactants and products in every reaction. Two examples of cyclic pathways described later in the book are the citrate cycle and the urea cycle, in which the reactant for the first reaction is the product of the last reaction. Many biochemical processes, such as metabolic pathways, are common to a variety of organisms.
