25
Lipoproteins
Type of protein that surrounds fat allowing it to be carried in blood
26
Metabolism
The sum of chemical reactions in the body
27
Anabolism
A + B -> AB Synthesis of new molecules in cell body
28
Catabolism
AB -> A + B Decomposition reactions in cell body
29
Exergonic
Release energy (ex:catabolism)
30
Endergonic
Requires Energy(ex:anabolism)
31
Hydrolysis (Decomposition Reaction)
AB + H2O —> AH + BOH Adding water to break down bonds (Catabolism)
32
Dehydration Synthesis
AH + BOH —> AB + H2O Removing water to build bonds (Anabolism)
