New cards

oxidation-reduction reaction (redox)

chemical reactions that involve the transfer of electrons from one molecule to another

what are the five principles of metabolic pathways?

  • complex transformations occur in a series of separate reactions

  • each reaction is catalyzed by a specific enzyme

  • many metabolic pathways are similar in all organisms

  • in eukaryotes, metabolic pathways are compartmentalized in specific organelles

    • key enzymes can be inhibited or activated to alter the rate of the pathway

What is the reaction for the burning/metabolism of glucose?

C6H12O6 + 6O2—>6CO2 + 6H2O + free energy

the reaction is exergonic

-drives endergonic (energy-requiring) formation of many ATP molecules
