  Side A   Side B
1
metabolism
 
metabolic reactions are chemical reactions occurring essentially inside the cell
2
catabolism
 
break down large compounds into smaller compounds
3
anabolism
 
put smaller compounds together through chemical reactions to build larger molecules - uses energy...
4
enzymes
 
in cells, chemical reactions require enzymes to occur; allows reaction to occur or to occur...
5
energy
 
involved with all reactions occurring inside a cell - either because needed for reaction to...
6
functions of carbohydrates
 
energy (immediate energy use or temporary storage) & structure/building things
7
glucose
 
you can make pretty much anything from glucose and from virtually anything, you can make glucosetake...
8
anabolism of glucose
 
photosynthesis with prokaryotes - two main parts: 1) light dependent - takes one form of energy...
9
chlorophyll
 
green pigment that has the unique ability to absorbs the photons of light into the electrons, which...
10
cyclic photophosphorylation
 
- electrons return to the chlorophyllchlorophyll, green pigment that has the unique ability...
11
noncyclic photoreduction
 
the electrons don't come back to where they started; has a couple advantages: 1) you make...
12
light independent reaction
 
(aka Calvin-Benson cycle) - in this cycle, the energy from the light dependent reactions (ATP &...
13
chemosynthesis
 
only done by specialized bacteria; outcome is same as photosynthesis - this is a method for taking...
14
glycolysis
 
Initially requires kickstart of energy Glucose is combined with energy and...
15
fermentation
 
assume start with glucose and do glycolysis (part of fermentation process)while does not require...
16
lactic acid fermentation
 
·         In lactic acid fermentation - its simply...
17
ethyl alcohol fermentation
 
done by yeasts; Take pyruvic acids and convert them to 2 carbon acetaldehyde, which breaks...
18
aerobic respiration
 
after glycolysis you have net: 2 ATP, 2NADH, 2 pyruvic acid; from here we go to the Krebs...
19
Krebs cycle
 
·         Transition from pyruvic acid to krebs:...
20
electron transport chain
 
·         When it comes to actual ATP that the cell...
21
dif between prokary & eukary
 
in a prokaryote, glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, Krebs cycle occurs in the cell membrane;...
22
anaerobic respiration
 
identical to aerobic respiration, except that oxygen is not the final electron acceptor; instead, this...
23
functions of proteins
 
structural components of the cells, especially the membranes; as part of that, they serve as...
24
how amino acids are created
 
  I.            from the...
25
catabolism - proteins
 
break down peptide bonds and protein to get the amino acids that you needWhat you usually don't...
26
nucleic acids
 
·         Composed of nucleotides (3 basic components:...
27
lipids
 
very diverse group; one unifying characteristic - insoluble in water
28
anabolism - fats
 
·         Tryglyceride - 3 fatty acids attached...
29
fats - catabolism
 
·         body will take the fat, in simple hydrolysis...
30
phospholipids
 
fat that has had one fatty acid removed and in its place you have a charged phosphate - so...
31
connections
 
·         All the pathways that we talk about do...
32
Ways to remember interconnections
 
3-phosphoglyerate - SinGaPore Caning - Serine --> Glycine (--> Purines) & Cysteine pyruvate...
