TERM 1 catabolism DEFINITION 1 breaking down molecules for energy TERM 2 Catabolic Pathways DEFINITION 2 break down large molecules in a series of steps coupled to reactions that store energy in small carriers such as ATP and NADH TERM 3 Anabolism DEFINITION 3 using energy to build cell components TERM 4 Metabolism DEFINITION 4 Balance between catabolism and anabolism Central biochemical pathways used for both (amphibolic) TERM 5 Examples of Metabolism DEFINITION 5 TCA cycle (Kreb cycle), glycolysis, pentose phosphate shunt TERM 6 Activation Energy DEFINITION 6 energy required to bring all molecules in a chemical reaction into the reactive state TERM 7 Enzymes DEFINITION 7 catalytic proteins speed up biochemical reaction rates lower activaqtion energy by bringing substrates into proximity to eachother and correctly orienting them so reaction can take place TERM 8 Active/Catalytic Site DEFINITION 8 portion of an enzyme to which a substrate binds TERM 9 Enzymes can have __________ that help in catalysis, but aren't _____________ DEFINITION 9 small non-protein molecules part of the enzyme of the substrate TERM 10 Two types of small non-protein molecules that help in catalysis DEFINITION 10 Prostetic groups Coenzymes
