Catabolic and Anabolic Reactions

Energy from catabolic reactions is used to combine ADP and a Pi to resynthesize ATP

ADP + Pi + energy ==> ATP

Energy is released to drive anabolic reactions

ATP ==> ADP + Pi + energy

When simple molecules are combined to form complex molecules (anabolism)

ATP provides the energy for synthesis, and again some energy is given off as heat

What is formed when the terminal phosphate group is split from ATP

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)

Catabolism provides

Energy and building blocks for anabolism

Anabolism uses

Energy and building blocks to build large molecules

Catabolic reactions are generally

Hydrolytic reactions and they are exergonic

Metabolic pathways are determined by

It's enzymes

A cell's metabolic pathways are determined by

Its enzymes, which are in turn determined by the cell's genetic makeup

Catabolism releases energy by

Oxidation of molecules

Exergonic

Produces more energy than they consume

Hydlolytic reactions are

Reactions which use water and in which chemical bonds are broken

Catabolic reactions

Release energy

Anabolic reactions

Require energy

A metabolic pathways is

Sequences of chemical reactions

When complex molecules are split apart (catabolism)

Some of the energy is transferred to and trapped in ATP, and the rest is given off as heat

The energy for chemical reactions is

Stored in ATP

Anabolism uses energy to

Synthesize macro-molecules that make up the cell

Enzymes are determined (encoded) by

The cell's genetic makeup

Examples of anabolic processes are

The formation of proteins from amino acids, nucleic acids from nucleotides, and polysaccharides from simple sugars

Metabolism

The sum of all chemical reactions within a living organism

Example of catabolism

A cell break down sugars into carbon dioxide and water

Anabolism

A chemical reaction in which simpler substances are combined to form more complex molecules

Catabolism

A chemical reaction that results in the break-down of more complex organic molecules into simpler substances

A molecule of ATP consist of

An adenine, a ribosome, and three phosphate groups

Dehydration synthesis

Are reactions that release water

Anabolic processes often involve

Dehydration synthesis reactions and they are endergonic

The energy of catabolic reactions is

Used to drive anabolic reactions
