Document Summary
Definition of metabolism: metabolism, chemical changes that within a cell to either. Build new cell structures: two types of metabolism. Anabolism: creation of large molecules from small ones with the use of energy (atp, breakdown of large molecules into small ones resulting in the release of energy (atp) Describe the three chemical reactions/metabolic pathways in the body that produce atp. List how much atp each can form, which one requires oxygen, and where the reactions take place in the cell. It can either enter the citric acid cycle (cac) and produce lots of. It can enter another shorter reaction to produce a small amount of. Atp and the by-product lactate (lactic acid: the reaction pyruvate take depends on whether oxygen is present or not. If there is sufficient oxygen, then most of the pyruvate will enter the cac: lactic acid, aerobic pathway.
