The totality of the chemical reactions taking place in an organism
METABOLISM
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
It is a balance between anabolism and catabolism
METABOLISM
Most of the chemical reactions occur in sequences called?
METABOLIC PATHWAYS
Types of metabolic pathways
LINEAR
CYCLIC
SPIRAL
A pathway that is, the product of one reaction serves as the starting material for the next
LINEAR
A pathway that is a series of reactions regenerate one of the first reactants
CYCLIC
A metabolic pathway that is the same set of enzymes progressively builds up or breaks down a molecule
SPIRAL
A pathway where we get whether 1 cycle or a cycle where we get the same product
CYCLIC
A pathway where we get different products on each stair
SPIRAL
Pathway that breaks molecules apart are known collectively as?
CATABOLISM
Is Catabolism exergonic or endergonic?
EXERGONIC
Pathway that put building blocks together to assemble larger molecules are known collectively as?
ANABOLISM
Is Anabolism exergonic or endergonic?
ENDERGONIC
This means it produces energy
EXERGONIC
This means it consumes energy
ENDERGONIC
This means it releases heat
EXOTHERMIC
