# Metabolic Pathways **Date:** 06/09/24 **Topic:** Metabolic Pathways **Overview:** This document appears to be notes on metabolic pathways, specifically focusing on carbohydrates. It discusses anabolism and catabolism, highlighting the role of enzymes in these processes. The document also describes different types of carbohydrates (monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides). **Key Concepts:** * **Anabolism:** Constructive metabolic pathways that synthesize complex molecules from simpler ones, often requiring energy input. * **Catabolism:** Degradative metabolic pathways that break down complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy. * **Enzymes:** Proteins that catalyze (speed up) biochemical reactions within cells. * **Biomolecules:** Molecules important to life, such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. * **Carbohydrates:** Essential organic compounds that are classified into different types based on the number of sugar molecules. **Types of Carbohydrates:** * **Monosaccharides:** Single sugar molecules. * **Disaccharides:** Two sugar molecules linked together. * **Polysaccharides:** Multiple sugar molecules linked together. **Other Information:** The notes mention the importance of energy for cellular processes, and describe the role of these metabolic pathways within the cell or organism. **Additional details:** The document also briefly mentions things like 'masa muscular' (muscle mass) and the importance of energy transport within cells.
