Why catabolic reactions are called convergent reactions?
The various degradative pathways of catabolism are convergent. That is, many hundreds of different proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids are broken down into relatively few catabolic end products. The hundreds of anabolic pathways,however, are divergent. That is, the cell uses relatively few biosynthetic precursor molecules to synthesize a vast number of different proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids.
Reaction for respiration an anabolic reaction or catabolic reaction?
Reaction for respiration is a catabolic process. It is where organic compounds are broken into simpler substances through the transfer of electrons.
How are organic molecules broken down?
Hydrolysis breaks the bonds between molecules.
Why is cellular respiration considered catabolic?
Catabolism is when the molecules are broken down and energy is released. Cellular respiration breaks down large molecules, like glucose, and store the energy in the form of ATP. Therefore, cellular respiration is catabolic.
What does the food vacuole do?
site where organic molecules are broken down
What does a food vacuole do?
site where organic molecules are broken down.
What does food vacuole do?
site where organic molecules are broken down
What term is specific to reactions in which larger compounds are broken down into smaller molecules and usually generate energy?
catabolic or catabolism
Energy is primarily when organic molecules are synthesized and when they are broken down?
absorbed,released
When covalent bonds in organic molecules are broken the energy is not used immediately Instead the released energy is stored in?
molecules of ATP.
What organic molecules that can be broken down during cellular respiration can be obtained from?
polysaccharides, proteins and lipids
What 4 types of organic molecules are broken down in the digestive system?
fats, carbs and proteins
