Catabolism vs Anabolism - ANSWER Catabolism: Degradative pathways,energy-yielding, oxidative
Anabolism: Biosynthetic pathways, energy requiring, reductive
What is reaction coupling? - ANSWER coupling of a non-spontaneous process
with a spontaneous process to drive the nonspontaneous reaction in the forward
direction.
What is important about inorganic pyrophosphatase? - ANSWER It is present
in every cell in our body and works fast. It breaks inorganic pyrophosphate into
to inorganic phosphates. The reaction is irreversible and drives an overall
reaction forward (via reaction coupling)
Why is NADPH important? - ANSWER It's the reductive power for
biosynthesis.
What is the group carried by ATP? - ANSWER Phosphoryl
What is the group carried by NADH and NADPH and what vitamin are
NADH/NADPH a precursor for? - ANSWER Electrons and Nicotinate
(niacin)
What is the group carried by FADH2 and what vitamin is FADH2 a precursor
for? - ANSWER Electrons and Riboflavin (or vitamin B2)
What is the group carried by FMNH2 and what vitamin is FMNH2 a precursor
for? - ANSWER Electrons and Riboflavin (or vitamin B2)
, What is the group carried by Coenzyme A and what vitamin is a Acetyl CoA a
precursor for? - ANSWER Acyl and Pantothenate
What group is carried by Lipoamide? - ANSWER acyl
What group is carried by Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) and what vitamin is
TPP a precursor for? - ANSWER Adlehyde and thiamine (or vitamin B1)
What group is carried by biotin and what vitamin is biotin a precursor for? -
ANSWER CO2 and biotin
What group is carried by tetrahydrofolate and which vitamin is tetrahydrofolate
a precursor for? - ANSWER One-carbon units and folate
What group is carried by S-Adenosylmetionine? - ANSWER methyl
What group is carried by Uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose) -
ANSWER glucose

What is the coenzyme product of and reaction mediated by biotin? - ANSWER
biocytin and carboxylation
What is the coenzyme product of and reaction mediated by pantothenic acid? -
ANSWER Coenzyme A and acyl transfer
What is the coenzyme product of and reaction mediated by cobalamin (B12)? -
ANSWER Cobalamin coenzymes and alkylation
What is the coenzyme product of and reaction mediated by riboflavin (B2)? -
ANSWER flavin coenzymes and oxidation-reduction
What is the coenzyme product of and reaction mediated by nicotinamide
(niacin)? - ANSWER Nicotinamide coenzymes and oxidation-reduction
