pathways that require energy they are the biosynthesis of smaller molecules into bigger molecules
1 of 10
What are Catabolic Pathways?
pathways that release energy and breakdown of large molecules into smaller.
2 of 10
what is an example of things that contain chemical energy and examples of chemical waste
chemical energy: carbohydrates, lipids
chemical waste: co2 and H2o

What are the two functions of oxidative catabolism of glucose ?
1. the production of "free energy" = ATP
2. the production of intermediates from glycolysis and the TCA cycle to provide material for other metabolic pathways
4 of 10
what is oxidative Metabolism?
a chemical process, where oxygen is used to make energy from carbs
known as aerobic metabolism example aerobic respiration
5 of 10
why is glucose important
1. makes energy requirements that the cell needs
2. material requirements for the cell
note glucose can't be used for both at the same time

what is the DG° for the reaction of photosynthesis (the breakdown of glucose)
-2834 kjmol -1
7 of 10
what is the release of energy used for in biological systems?
1. mechanical work: muscle contraction
2. transport work: ionic gradients
3. heat generation
4. Biochemical work: energy requiring chemical reactions
8 of 10
what is le chatelier's principle?
any deviation from the equilibrium will allow the opposite of the reaction taking place to happen in order to restore the equilibrium of the system

what is a metabolic pathway?
it is a linked series of chemical reactions occurring at the same time within cell. The reactants, products, and intermediates of an enzymatic reaction are known as metabolites, which are modified by a sequence of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes
