BIO 214 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Metabolic Pathway, Sour Cream, Cytoplasm
Document Summary
Metabolism is the sum of all the chemical reactions within a living organism. Anabolism and catabolism happen simultaneously in the cell (at the same time) Chemical reactions that result in the breakdown of more complex organic molecules into simpler substance. Catabolism : cats have too much energy so they must release it . Chemical reactions in which simpler substances are combined to form more complex molecules. Synthesizing large molecules from small molecules in order to do. Ways to remember that they need energy. Ants require energy, they are tiny and tired but need to gather food . The energy of catabolic reactions is used to drive anabolic reactions. They are highly evolved intracellular sequence of chemical. Each step of a metabolic pathway usually is enzymatically catalyzed. Which means it requires enzymes for metabolic pathway to occur. Linear metabolic pathways (b in image below)
