4 1 Metabolism Overview Medicine Libretexts Figure 4.1.1 4.1. 1: metabolism is categorized into metabolic pathways that break down the molecules that release energy (catabolism) and the molecules that consume energy by building bigger molecules (anabolism).caption here. (cc by sa nc 3.0; anonymous). Figure 6.2.1 6.2. 1: metabolism is categorized into metabolic pathways that break down the molecules that release energy (catabolism) and the molecules that consume energy by building bigger molecules (anabolism). energy metabolism refers more specifically to the metabolic pathways that release or store energy.

4 1 Metabolism Overview Medicine Libretexts Enzymes are important for catalyzing all types of biological reactions—those that require energy as well as those that release energy. figure 4.1.2 4.1. 2: catabolic pathways are those that generate energy by breaking down larger molecules. anabolic pathways are those that require energy to synthesize larger molecules. All of the chemical reactions that take place inside cells, including those that use energy and those that release energy, are the cell’s metabolism. figure 4.1.1 4.1. 1: most life forms on earth get their energy from the sun. plants use photosynthesis to capture sunlight, and herbivores eat those plants to obtain energy. 4.2: atp. atp (adenosine triphosphate) is a nucleotide that performs many essential roles in the cell. it is the major energy currency of the cell, providing the energy for most of the energy consuming activities of the cell. it is one of the monomers used in the synthesis of rna and, after conversion to deoxyatp (datp), dna. 9.1: metabolism overview is shared under a cc by nc sa license and was authored, remixed, and or curated by libretexts. metabolism is defined as the sum of all chemical reactions required to support cellular function and hence the life of an organism. metabolism is either categorized as catabolism, referring to all ….

Metabolism is studied by looking at individual metabolic pathways, which are a series of biochemical reactions in which a given reactant is converted to a desired end product. the oxidation of fuel molecules (primarily carbohydrates and lipids), a process called respiration, is the source of energy used by cells. In the body, triacylglycerols are essential for long term energy storage as well as for insulation and protection. triacylglycerols can be ingested directly or synthesized from extra dietary protein or carbohydrates. figure 24.3.1 24.3. 1 is a summary of the metabolic pathways of triacylglycerols that will be discussed in more detail in the.
