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