metabolism
Term | Definition |
---|---|
metabolism | all chemical reactions that occur within living organism to maintain life |
catabolic reactions | where large complex molecules are broken down into smaller ones with the release of energy. cellular respiration |
anabolic reactions | where building up small molecules into larger molecules with the consumption of energy. amino acids - proteins |
basal metabolic rate | the energy required to maintain the chemical processes of the body while at rest |
cellular respiration | glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + energy |
anaerobic | occurs in the cytoplasm without the presence of oxygen, happens with vigorous excersise with 2 ATP produced with an incomplete breakdown of glucose creating 2 ATP and lactic acid |
aerobic | occurs in the mitochondria in the presence of oxygen. creates carbon dioxide, water, 36-38 ATP, happening all the time and is a complete breakdown. |
ATP-ADP cycle | ATP then energy is released and used for active transport to create ADP then energy is absorbed coming from breaking down glucose in cell respiration. |
