Metabolism

Electron

removed from one molecule is added to another.

Enzyme

directly transfers phosphate from one molecule to another molecule.

Electron

Enzyme

directly transfers phosphate from one molecule to another molecule.

Energy

stored in an electrochemical gradient is used to make ATP from ADP and Pi.

biochemical reactions

All the that take place in the cell are called its metabolism.

Catabolism

: converting nutrients into a group of organic compounds which serve as a starting point to synthesize all other cellular components.

Reduction

: addition of electrons.

Electrons

removed by oxidation of organic molecules are used to create energy intermediates like NADH.

Reducing power ie

  NADH

Oxidation

removal of electrons

Reduction

addition of electrons

Metabolism

step by step process by which cells take nutrients from their environment and convert them into sufficient components to double their mass and then become 2 cells
