Cell Metabolism

Cellular Metabolism - CH14

• The Cell

The body's involuntary functions of vital energy reactions (anabolism and catabolism)

• Daily reactions we take for granted but necessary to function properly

Fundamentals:

Regulation of Metabolism

General Types of Pathways

• Linear: continuous series of reactions in which the product of one reaction is the reactant in the next
• Circular: series of reactions where the final product is an initial reactant
• Spiral: series of repeated reactions used to break down or build up a molecule

Biomolecule Metabolism/Intermediary/Central Metabolism:

Complex Carbohydrate Metabolism

• Glycogen Metabolism

Carbohydrate Metabolism

• Glucose Metabolism
• Pyruvate Metabolism
• Glycerol Metabolism
• Fructose Metabolism
• Galactose Metabolism
• Lactose Metabolism
• Sucrose Metabolism
• Pentose Phosphate Pathway
• Cellular Respiration
  • (Aerobic Respiration)
  • Glycolysis
  • Pyruvate Decarboxylation - can be considered last step of glycolysis before TCA
  • TCA Cycle
  • Electron Transport Chain

Amino Acid Metabolism

• Urea Cycle

Nucelotide Metabolism
Complex Lipid Metabolism

• Cholesterol Synthesis

Lipid Metabolism

• Fatty Acid Oxidation
• Fatty Acid Synthesis

Energy Metabolism
Cofactor Vitamin Metabolism
Other Amino Acid Metabolism
Other Substances Metabolism

Concepts:

• Cell Metabolism Interlinkages
• Cofactors

Terminology:

• Orthophosphate
• Anabolism: build up of chemicals to synthesize new products
• Catabolism: breakdown of chemicals to degrade into new products
• Intermediary/Central Metabolism: discrete pathways of one function
