Metabolism: The Chemical Description of Cell Function
  1. Metabolism: Living chemistry, the total of all chemical reactions carried out by an organism.
    1. Anabolism
      1. Those chemical reactions that expend energy to build up molecules are called anabolic reactions=
      2. Catabolism
        1. =Reactions that harvest energy by breaking down molecules are called catabolic reactions.
      3. Biochemical Pathways
        1. In such pathways, the product of one reaction becomes the substrate for the next
          1. Many sequential enzyme steps in biochemical pathways take place in specific compartments of the cell
            1. Feedback Inhibition
              1. The end-product of the pathway binds to an allosteric site on the enzyme that catalyzes the first reaction in the pathway.
