Chapter 4 Cellular Metabolism

Front 1

Aerobic respiration

Back 1

respiration that requires oxygen

Front 2

coenzyme

Back 2

substance that unites with a protein to complete the structure of an active enzyme molecule

Front 3

Metabolic process

Back 3

all chemical reactions that occur in the body, many reaction form cycles or pathways~ two types...anabolism and catobolism

Front 4

Anabolism

Back 4

~smaller molecules are built up into larger ones, requiring energy
~provides the materials needed for cellular growth and repair

Front 5

Catobolism

Back 5

larger molecules are broken down into smaller molecules, releasing energy

Front 6

dehydration synthesis

Back 6

~type of anabolic process joining many simple sugar molecules (monosaccharides) to form larger molecules of glycogen, storing energy in the bonds of the larger molecule
~also builds protein molecules by joining amino acid molecules
~produces water
~used to make polysaccharides, triglycerides, and proteins

Front 7

Hydrolysis

Back 7

~A catabolic process
~used to decompose carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins
~water is used to split the substances ~reverse of dehydration synthesis

Front 8

Enzymes

Back 8

~control rated if metabolic reactions
~lower activation energy needed to start reactions
~most ate globular proteins with specific shapes
~not consumed in chemical reactions
~substrate specific
~shape of active site determines substrate
