Chapter 11: Chemical Logic of Metabolism – Terminology
Across
- 3. a process requiring respiration
- 5. the synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrate precursors and polysaccharide biosynthesis, particularly the biosynthesis of glycogen in animal cells
- 7. processes in which complex substances are degraded to simpler molecules
- 10. metabolism, all reactions involved in generating and storing metabolic energy
- 12. organisms that can only synthesize their organic metabolites from other organic compounds by consumption. Feed on others
- 14. the process by which green plants capture light energy to drive the generation of energy (ATP) and reducing power (NADPH)
Down
- 1. processes concerned primarily with the synthesis of complex organic molecules
- 2. a stage 2 pathway for the degradation of carbohydrates in both aerobic and anaerobic cells
- 4. the intermediates and products of metabolism
- 6. metabolism, those pathways of intermediary metabolism that generate or store metabolic energy
- 8. organisms that synthesize glucose and all of their other organic compounds from inorganic compound, supplied as carbon dioxide. Also known as self-feeders
- 9. process where oxygen is not involved
- 11. pathways, those that carry the heaviest traffic and account for most of the mass transfer and energy generation within a cell
- 13. a process where energy generation to oxidation of nutrients are coupled by oxygen
