Energy systems

The text discusses various biochemical processes, focusing on their mechanisms and distinctions. Oxidation and reduction are defined by electron transfer, with oxidation involving the loss of electrons and reduction the gain.

Similarities

Differences

reduction

decarboxylation

hydrolysis

Catabolism

Anabolism

Both increase mass Both involve electrons

Oxidation occurs when a reactant loses electrons in a reaction while reduction is when the reactant gains electrons Oxidation does not require oxygen while reduction does Oxidation uses energy while reduction releases it

Both use phosphate Both form a nucleic acid Both deal with electrons

Phosphorylation adds phosphate to a amino acid whereas decarboxylation removes carboxylate Decarboxylation releases carbon dioxide phosphorylation does not. Decarboxylation is a reaction of carboxylic acids

Both use enzymes Both act in cells Both help making atp

-Dehydration synthesis builds bonds while hydrolysis breaks them -One involves adding water while one involves taking it away -One makes monomers into polymers and one makes monomers out of polymers, thus causing anabolism and catabolism -Dehydration synthesis uses energy while hydrolysis releases it. -Hydrolysis uses a enzymic catalyst but dehydration synthesis does not

- Phosphorylation involves the adding of phosphate to amino acids while hydrolysis takes away a phosphate molecule -Hydrolysis uses water, phosphorylation doesn’t Hydrolysis releases energy, phosphorylation uses it -Hydrolysis turns ATP to ADP while phosphorylation makes ADP to ATP

Both processes use water Both use monomers Both occur in the cell Both act on macronutrients such as nucleic acids and complex carbohydrates
