Aerobic respiration
|
respiration that requires oxygen
|
|
coenzyme
|
substance that unites with a protein to complete the structure of an active enzyme molecule
|
|
Metabolic process
|
all chemical reactions that occur in the body, many reaction form cycles or pathways~ two types...anabolism and catobolism
|
|
Anabolism
|
~smaller molecules are built up into larger ones, requiring energy
~provides the materials needed for cellular growth and repair |
|
Catobolism
|
larger molecules are broken down into smaller molecules, releasing energy
|
|
dehydration synthesis
|
~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 |
|
Hydrolysis
|
~A catabolic process
~used to decompose carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins ~water is used to split the substances ~reverse of dehydration synthesis |
|
Enzymes
|
~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 |
