Bio 5

Front 1

metabolism

Back 1

the sum of all the chemical reactions that occur in the body.

Front 2

anabolism

Back 2

synthesis of molecules, requires input of energy

Front 3

catabolism

Back 3

break down of molecules, releases energy

Front 4

oxygen

Back 4

final electron acceptor

Front 5

aerobic respiration

Back 5

Glycolysis- (glucose + O2- ATP)
transition reaction
Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle)
electron transport pathway

Front 6

glycolysis

Back 6

glucose turns into 2 P.A. and 2 ATP and 2 NADH

Front 7

glycogenesis

Back 7

glucose converted to glycogen

Front 8

glycogenolysis

Back 8

glycogen converted to glucose (liver)

Front 9

glucose – 6 – phosphatase

Back 9

in liver
phosphotase released and free flucose

Front 10

gluconeogenesis

Back 10

liver cells contain another enzyme, lactic acid dehydrogenase, which converts lactic acid to pyruvic acid.

Front 11

reverse of glycolysis

Back 11

pyruvic acid is then converted to glu – 6—P

Front 12

gluconeogenesis

Back 12

production of glucose from noncarbohydrate molecules, e.g. lactic acid, amino acids, fatty acids

Front 13

transition reaction

Back 13

pyruvic acid moves into the matrix of the mitochondrion.

Front 14

lypogenesis

Back 14

glucose is converted into glycogen and fats instead
-happens in adipose tissue of liver

Front 15

lypolysis

Back 15

Triglycerides are hydrolyzed into glycerol and free fatty acids (FFA)

Front 16

excess amino acids

Back 16

are deaminated and are converted to carbs or lipids

Front 17

transamination

Back 17

A new amino acid can be obtained

Front 18

oxidative deamination

Back 18

Excess amino acids are processed for excretion
-amine group is removed and converted to urea, which is then excreted by the kidneys.
