Anabolism - Answer-Anabolic reaction (endergonic) is the
phase of metabolism in which simple substances are
synthesized into the complex materials of living tissue.
Uses ATP
Catabolism - Answer-Catabolic reaction (exergonic) is the
metabolic breakdown of complex molecules into simpler
ones, often resulting in the releasing of energy. Produces
ATP
What is a redox reaction and what does it have to do with
metabolism? - Answer-Redox reaction is the chemical
reaction in which electrons are gained, lost or shared in a
chemical reaction. OIL RIG. Oxidation is loss (of
electrons), reduction is gain (of electrons).
What is oxidized/reduced in a redox reaction? - Answer-
NAD+ and NADP (and even FAD) are all reduced to turn
into NADH, NADPH, and FADH2.

What is ATP and its significance in metabolism - Answer-
ATP—adenosine triphosphate is the primary, short-term,
recyclable energy molecule fueling cellular reactions. ATP
actually runs the cellular machinery.
What are FADH2 and NADH? What is their role in
metabolism? - Answer-NAD+ and FADH are oxidizing
agents...they accept electrons from other molecules and
become reduced, and forms NADH and FADH2 can then
be used as reducing agents to donate electrons.
Cells uses these molecules to carry electron and this is
potential energy, another way to transport energy.
What are the steps of aerobic respiration? - Answer-
Aerobic respiration has four stages: Glycolysis,
formation of acetyl coenzyme A, the citric acid cycle, and
the electron transport chain.
■ During glycolysis, which means breakdown of glucose,
glucose is separated into two ATP and two NADH
molecules, which are used later in the process of aerobic
respiration.
■ In this step, pyruvate is brought into the mitochondria to
be oxidized, creating a 2-carbonacetyl group. This 2-
