Catabolic and Anabolic Reactions Learning Objectives 5-1 Define metabolism, and describe the fundamental differences between anabolism and catabolism. 5-2 Identify the role of ATP as an intermediate between catabolism and anabolism.

Catabolic and Anabolic Reactions Metabolism: The sum of the chemical reactions in an organism
Catabolism: Provides energy and building blocks for anabolism. (releases energy) Anabolism: Uses energy and building blocks to build large molecules (requires energy)

Enzymes • Catalyze the chemical reactions of life • can catalyze 10,000 Rx / second • Enzymes: an example of catalysts, chemicals that increase the rate of a chemical reaction without becoming part of the products or being consumed in the reaction
• Names usually end with –ase • Catalase (breaks down hydrogen peroxide) • Lactase- ?

Energy Requirements of a Chemical Reaction
•Enzymes lower the energy of activation (Ea) - ( Ea: Amount of energy required to initiate a reaction) Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Energy Production Learning Objectives 5-9 List and provide examples of three types of reactions that generate ATP. * Outline the three ways that ATP is generated. 5-10 Explain the overall function of metabolic pathways. * What is the purpose of metabolic pathways? 5-15 Compare and contrast aerobic, anaerobic respiration and fermentation in terms of oxygen use and amount of ATP produced. 5-16 Describe the types of fermentation reactions, and list some products of fermentation Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Energy generating reactions catabolism Metabolism of nutrients is important to generate ATP (Energy) ATP can be formed by: aerobic
Respiration
anaerobic
Fermentation Photosynthesis
Energy release is important for synthesis of molecules

Respiration: Carbohydrate catabolism
Aerobic respiration: (3 major steps): 1. Glycolysis (2 ATP net) 2. Krebs cycle: Tricarboxylic acid (TCA)
(2 ATP net)
3. Electron transport chain (34 ATP net) 38 ATP total output per glucose

A Summary of Respiration Aerobic respiration: The final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is molecular oxygen (O2). Anaerobic respiration: The final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is not O2. Yields less energy than aerobic respiration because only part of the Krebs cycles operates under anaerobic conditions.
