Metabolism
|
Sum of all chemical reactions within a living organism

|
Anabolic reactions
|
Build complex organic compounds for smaller subunits
Synthesis; bonds are formed Requires energy (ATP) ex: dehydration synthesis, monomers -> polymers, nucleotides -> nucleic acid, amino acids -> proteins, fatty acids + glycerol + phosphate group -> phospholipids |
|
|
Catabolic reactions
|
Breakdown of complex organic compounds into smaller subunits
Degradative: bonds are broken Energy is released (ATP) ex: hydrolysis reactions, polymers -> monomers, proteins -> amino acids, nucleic acid -> nucleotides |
