Anabolic and catabolic reactions are "coupled", what does this mean? |
Catabolic and anabolic pathways are linked by energy. Catabolic reactions provide energy needed for anabolic reactions. Energy either stored or released from ATP. |
|
Practice comparing |
Anabolic (build up): - dehydration synthesis, water removed to create bonds - endergonic, stores energy - forms bonds between simpler molecules to build up larger molecules - products have more energy than reactants - have +🔼G (non spontaneous) Catabolic (breakdown): - hydrolysis, water to break bonds - exergonic, released energy - break down larger molecules into smaller simpler molecules - products have less energy than the reactants - have -🔼G (spontaneous) |

What is ATP? What does ATP look like? |
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy carrier molecule of the cell. It essentially acts as energy currency, teanfereing energy to and from reactions. |
