Metabolism
biochemical rxns involved in synthesizing + breaking down molecules
Metabolic Pathway
Series of Enzymatic rxns to go from pre-cursor molecule to end product
catabolic pathway
breakdown pathways (often spontaneous)
examples of catabolic pathways
glycolysis, fermentation, krebs
exergonic rxn
energy released
anabolic pathways
rxns involved in molecule synthesis (NOT spontaneous)
examples of anabolic pathways
protein synthesis, lipid synthesis
endergonic rxns
requires energy
feedback inhibition
a product of a later step in pathway acts as an inhibitor of earlier enzyme
