Micro 8 metabolism

Microbial metabolism

Series of biochemical reaction converting nutrients to energy

Catabolic pathways

breakdown of complicated matter to simpler one

Anabolic pathways

synthesis of complex molecules from simpler one

Glycolysis

Converts glucose into 2 pyruvate producing ATP & NADH

Glycolysis

Initial step in aerobic and anaerobic respiration

Krebs cycle

Oxidizes Acetyl coa producing NADH, FADH & ATP, CO2

Electron Transport chain

Produces ATP through transfer of electrons from NADH & FADH2  to oxygen

Beta-Oxidation ( fatty acid oxidation)

breaks down fatty acid into acetyl CoA

Protein Catabolism

degrades protein into amino acid

Fermentation

Anaerobic process converting sugar into acid, gasses or alcohol

Metabolic regulation

controls the rate of metabolic pathway

Feedback inhibition

end product of a pathway inhibit earlier step

Allosteric regulation

molecules bind to enzyme to alter activity

Photosynthesis

Converts light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose

Chemosynthesis

convert inorganic molecule to organic molecule using chemical energy
