Class Cells to Systems
Metabolism
Break down of carbs, fats and proteins for energy production that is stored
as ATP and electron carriers (NADH/ NADPH/ FADH)
Waste elimination
Structure growth, reproduction and maintenance while also responding to
the environment
Enzymes help increase rate of reactions
Anabolism:
Phosphoryl group input energy transfer from ATP
Reduces power inside electron carriers
Carbs (Metab):
Glycolysis
TCA cycle
electron transport chain
oxidative phosphorylation ATP function in energy transfer
Lipids/ Proteins (Metab):
Fatty acid breakdown and synthesis
amino acid degradation
nitrogen excretion
Metabolism/ Processes 1
, Integration:
Relationships in the metabolism processes between carbs fatty acids and
amino acids
Products of Glucose
Structural synthesis of polymers
Pentose Phosphate Pathway (Ribose 5- Phosphate)
Glycogenesis (Glycogen)
Glycolysis (Pyruvate)
Citric Acid Cycle (CO2)
Anaerobic respiration (Lactate)
Electron Transport Chain (ATP)
Glycolysis (Cytosol Process):
Sweet Splitting- 6 Carbon sugar makes 2 ATP investment and becomes 2x
Pyruvate= 3 carbon sugar
4 ATP+ 2NADH+ pyruvate leave the process
Glucose:
Uses ATP to convert into Fructose 1,6 Bisphosphate turning into
Glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate and DHAP. DHAP converted into G3P for PEP
to form
G3P turns into PEP after using ATP and NADH
PEP + ATP= Pyruvate
Phosphate Group
Opposites attract (Negatively charged, targeted by positively charged
enzymes)
Ensures molecules stays inside the cell
They help redistribute electrons and energy so bonds can be broken or
reaction rates can be increased
