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.
