What is metabolism?
The building and breakdown of carbon sources to harness/release energy.
What is anabolism?
Building larger molecules from smaller units; requires energy.
Does anabolism require or release energy?
Requires energy.
What is catabolism?
Breaking molecules into smaller units; produces/releases energy.
Does catabolism require or release energy?
Produces/releases energy.
What does ATP stand for?
Adenosine triphosphate.
Is ATP energy itself?
No. ATP is a molecule involved in transferring usable chemical energy.
What does ATP help do in cells?
Helps drive energy-requiring cellular reactions.
What is potential energy?
Stored energy; energy not associated with movement.
What is kinetic energy?
Energy of motion.
What type of energy is chemical energy?
Potential energy.
Where is chemical energy stored?
In chemical bonds between atoms.
According to the lecture, which has more potential energy: strong or weak bonds?
Weak bonds.
Why is ATP useful to cells?
It helps cells transfer/use chemical energy to drive cellular processes.
