BIO 311C - Exam 3 Study Guide: Biochemistry. INTRODUCTION TO METABOLISM (30%): 1. Define metabolism, anabolism, and catabolism, and give examples for each. a. Metabolism → refers to all the biochemical reactions going on in the cell (meta = change) i. Combining anabolism and catabolism is metabolism b. Anabolism → synthesis process (+) (ana = synthesis) i. Individual monomers combine together to make a polymer (energy consuming, energy is required to synthesize larger molecul...

BIO 311C- Exam 1 Study Guide. Introduction/themes in biology: Explain what characterizes life, i.e. what are the different properties of life? Growth & development, evolution, response to environment, energy processing, reproduction, order, regulation What is an emergent property? Be prepared to give examples. A property that only complete systems have, and individual parts of the system do not. Compare reductionism to systems biology and suggest advantages and disadvantages of each
