What is catabolism? - Answer-the breakdown of complex
molecules in living organisms to form simpler ones,
together with the release of energy.
How does catabolism relate to metabolism? - Answer-it is
the set of metabolic processes that break down large
molecules. destructive metabolism.
What is anabolism? - Answer-the synthesis of complex
molecules in living organisms from simpler ones together
with the storage of energy.
How does anabolism relate to metabolism? - Answer-it is
the building-up aspect of metabolism; constructive
metabolism.
What is a redox reaction? - Answer-A redox reaction is a
mix of Oxidation and reduction and is a type of chemical
, 2|Page
reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two
species.
What is oxidation? - Answer-Oxidation is the loss of
electrons or an increase in the oxidation state of a
chemical or atoms within it.
What is Reduction? - Answer-Reduction is the gain of
electrons or a decrease in the oxidation state of a
chemical or atoms within it.
What does a redox reaction have to do with metabolism? -
Answer-Metabolic energy derives from processes of
oxidation and reduction
What is ATP? - Answer-Energy-carrying molecule found in
the cells of all living things
Why is ATP important in metabolism? - Answer-It provides
the energy needed for many essential processes in
organisms and cells. These include intracellular signaling,
DNA and RNA synthesis, Purinergic signaling, synaptic
signaling, active transport, and muscle contraction.
