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.
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.
How are organic molecules broken down?
Hydrolysis breaks the bonds between molecules.
What term is specific to reactions in which larger compounds are broken down into smaller molecules and usually generate energy?
catabolic or catabolism
What does a food vacuole do?
site where organic molecules are broken down.
What does the food vacuole do?
site where organic molecules are broken down
Energy is primarily when organic molecules are synthesized and when they are broken down?
absorbed,released
Is digestion catabolic or anabolic?
Catabolic.CatabolismWhen large molecules are broken apart to yield smaller ones through hydrolysis reactions which require waterAnabolismWhen small molecules are put together to build larger ones through metabolic condensation reactions (water is released)DigestionThe processes by which food and its components are broken down chemically and mechanically into units that can be absorbed
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
What happens after organic molecules such as carbohydrates proteins and lipids are consumed?
They are broken down into simpler molecules by the digestive system so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
Are vitamins inorganic?
No. Vitamins are organic molecules. They are simply molecules used by organisms to aid in certain chemical reactions. They are not broken down in these reactions or used for energy.
What are examples of the difference between anabolic and catabolic reactions?
In an anabolic reaction something is being built up and in a catabolic reaction something is being broken down
Is broken glass organic?
No it is not Organic! (:
Is hydrolysis anabolic?
Hydrolysis decomposes carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Hydrolosis is not anabolic, it is catabolic. A catabolic reaction is where the bond between monomers is broken by the enzyme and the addition of water.
How are large molecules broken down in digestion?
large molecules are broken down in digestion because the smaller molecules make it easier to be broken up.
How are large molecules broken down into glucose molecules?
Large carbohydrates are broken down by hydrolysis, or the addition of water molecules.
Where are molecules broken down into smaller molecules?
chemical
What is the final electron acceptor in glycolisis?
Glycolysis is a biochemical process in which a molecule of glucose (containing 6 carbon atoms) is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate (containing 3 carbon atoms) The process is merely a catabolic pathway. There is no transport of electrons as such.
What do large insoluble molecules get broken down into?
Most large insoluble molecules get broken down in the digestive system to small (simpler) soluble molecules.
What are large carbohydrate molecules broken down into?
Large or complex carbohydrate molecules are broken down into simple carbohydrates
Is cellular respiration catabolism or anabolism?
Cellular respiration is a catabolic pathway because a complex molecule is being broken down.
What do large insoluble molecules get broken into?
Small Insoluble Molecules
