What is urea? |
An organic compund that is produced by living organisms but can also be artificially synthesized |
|
|
What is metabolism? what does metabolic pathways consist of? |
The web of all enzyme-catalysed reactions in the cell or organism. Metabolic pathways consists of chains and cycles of enzyme- catalysed reactions |
|
|
Metabolism= ?+ ? (both involves?) |
Metabolism= catabolism+anabolism (both involves enzymes and water) |
|
|
Catabolism is the..? including * reaction |
Catabolism is the breakdown of small molecules into simpler molecules, including the hydrolysis reactions of macromolecules into monomeres. |
|
|
Anabolism is the...? Including * reaction |
Anabolism is the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler molecules, including the formation of macromolecules from monomeres by condensation reactions |
|
|
The Catabolic reaction, how it takes place |
Hydrolysis: molecules are seperated from each other with the help of water. Ex: Lactose+water---lactase---> galactose+glucose (enzyme: lactase) p.57 |
|
|
The Anabolic reaction, how it takes place |
Condensation (dehydration): molecules are joined together with the release of water. Ex: amino acid+amino acid---enzyme--> dipeptide+water |
|
|
Hydrolysis |
Catabolic POLYMER+ water--enzyme, pH, temp-> MONOMERES |
|
|
Condensation (dehydration) |
Anabolic MONOMERES---enzymes, pH, temp-> POLYMER+ water |
