Metabolic Processes
Dehydration synthesis also builds proteins by
joining amino acids.
Dehydration synthesis joins
many simple sugar molecules to form larger molecules of glycogen.
Hydrolysis breaks down carbohydrates into
monosaccharides.
Hydrolysis breaks down nucleic acids into
nucleotides.
In metabolic reactions, the product of one reaction serves as
starting materials for another metabolic reaction.
This chapter explores how metabolic pathways _____ and ______.
supply energy to a cell and how other biochemical processes enable a cell to produce proteins.
Hydrolysis is
the reverse of dehydration synthesis.
Metabolism is
the sum total of chemical reactions within cells.
When monosaccharides are joined
they form glycogen and a hydroxyl group from one monosaccharide and a hydrogen atom from another monosaccharide are removed.
The result of dehydration synthesis is
three water molecules and one fat molecule.
The hydrolysis of a disaccharide results in
two monosaccharides.
In hydrolysis, a water molecule is
used to split substances.
The H and OH react to produce
water.
Glycerol and fatty acid molecules join by
dehydration synthesis to form fat molecules.
Anabolism requires
energy.
Catabolism releases
energy.
Hydrolysis breaks down fats into
glycerol and fatty acids.
An example of catabolism is
hydrolysis
What can decompose carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins?
hydrolysis
A polypeptide is
a chain of amino acids.
Catabolism is
a group of metabolic processes that break down larger molecules into smaller ones.
When the bond between simple sugars break, water supplies
a hydrogen atom to one sugar molecule and a hydroxyl group to the other.
The type of bond that holds amino acids together is
a peptide bond.
Hydrolysis breaks down proteins into
amino acids.
Two types of metabolic reactions and pathways are
anabolism and catabolism.
In catabolism, larger molecules are
broken down into smaller ones.
Anabolism provides all the materials required for
cellular growth and repair.
In anabolism, larger molecules are
constructed from smaller ones.
