BIOCHEM METABOLISM

  1. The totality of the chemical reactions taking place in an organism
    METABOLISM
  2. The balance in the body between the reactions that build things up or repair or store and reactions that break things down for energy needs.
    METABOLISM
  3. It is a balance between anabolism and catabolism
    METABOLISM
  4. Most of the chemical reactions occur in sequences called?
    METABOLIC PATHWAYS
  5. Types of metabolic pathways
    • LINEAR
    • CYCLIC
    • SPIRAL
  6. A pathway that is, the product of one reaction serves as the starting material for the next
    LINEAR
  7. A pathway that is a series of reactions regenerate one of the first reactants
    CYCLIC
  8. A metabolic pathway that is the same set of enzymes progressively builds up or breaks down a molecule
    SPIRAL
  9. A pathway where we get whether 1 cycle or a cycle where we get the same product
    CYCLIC
  10. A pathway where we get different products on each stair
    SPIRAL
  11. Pathway that breaks molecules apart are known collectively as?
    CATABOLISM
  12. Is Catabolism exergonic or endergonic?
    EXERGONIC
  13. Pathway that put building blocks together to assemble larger molecules are known collectively as?
    ANABOLISM
  14. Is Anabolism exergonic or endergonic?
    ENDERGONIC
  15. This means it produces energy
    EXERGONIC
  16. This means it consumes energy
    ENDERGONIC
  17. This means it releases heat
    EXOTHERMIC
  18. Between E-consuming and E-producing, Catabolism is?
    E-PRODUCING
  19. Between E-consuming and E-producing, Anabolism is?
    E-CONSUMING
  20. What is the purpose of catabolism?
    TO RELEASE ENERGY FROM FOOD
  21. What is the purpose of anabolism?
    TO SYNTHESIZE NEW BIOMOLECULES
