Case 1: Chemistry of Life
Metabolism
Metabolism: sum of all energy-requiring biochemical reactions
Catabolic pathways: degradative process such as cellular respiration; releases energy
Anabolic pathways: building process such as protein synthesis; photosynthesis; consumes energy
Energy Coupling & ATP
E coupling: use of exergonic process to drive an endergonic one Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
ATP hydrolysis: release of free E
Phosphorylation (phosphorylated intermediate)~ enzymes
