Study Notes

Metabolic Processes

  • Catabolism is the process that breaks down larger molecules into smaller molecules, releasing energy.
  • Anabolism refers to any process that results in the synthesis of cell molecules and structures, requiring the input of energy.

Enzymes

  • Enzymes act as biological catalysts in the cell, speeding up chemical reactions.
  • The main function of enzymes is to facilitate metabolic processes, allowing cells to conduct various chemical reactions efficiently.

Metabolism

  • Metabolism is the combination of catabolism and anabolism, encompassing all chemical reactions that occur within a cell.
