Metabolism

Question 1

what is metabolism

Answer 1

chemical processes that occur with in an organism to maintain life
=> thermodynamically favourable reactions drive unfavourable ones

Question 2

ATP production

Answer 2

C6H12O6 + 36ADP + 36 Pi + 36H+ + 6O2 –> 6CO2 + 36 ATP + 42H2O

Question 3

Glycolysis (cystol)

Answer 3

Glucose –> 2ATP + Pyruvate

Question 4

Citric acid cycle ( mitochondrial matrix)

Answer 4

Pyruvate –> 2 ATP + NADH + FADH2 + CO2 + H2O

Question 5

Oxidative phosphorylation (mitochondrial cistae)

Answer 5

NADH + FADH2 –> 26ATP + NAD+ +FAD

Question 6

ways enzymes catalyse biochem pathways

Answer 6

loss of CO2
use of co enzmyes
redox using NAD+, FAD, Fe-S clusters
