Involve transfer of electrons from a substrate which is oxidized, to another substance which is reduced
dehydration/condensation reaction
a reaction in which two molecules are covalently bonded to each other through loss of a water molecule and
molecules. Requires energy
dehydration reaction
A chemical reaction in which two molecules become covalently bonded to each other with the removal of a w
molecule.
hydrolysis reaction
A biomacromolecule is degraded into 2 or more monomers with the gain of a water molecule and release of e
Metabolism
The sum of all synthetic and degradation biochemical reactions in the human body
Anabolism
, The sum total of all processes in an organism which use energy and simple chemical building blocks to prod
chemicals and structures necessary for life.
Catabolism
The sum total of all processes in an organism which break down chemicals to produce energy and simple ch
building blocks.
Cellular respiration and metabolism are examples of:
Catabolic reactions
cellular respiration
Transfer of electrons that have stored energy, such as glucose, to other molecules
aerobic respiration
Respiration that involves consumption of oxygen. Yields greatest amount of ATP and is primary metabolic pa
body.
