Both processes use water Both use monomers Both occur in the cell Both act on macronutrients such as nucleic acids and complex carbohydrates
- 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
-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
Both use enzymes Both act in cells Both help making atp
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 phosphate Both form a nucleic acid Both deal with 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
