I have a lot of terms here.
00:01
I'm going to go ahead and write them out.
00:02
And as i write them, i will go through their definitions.
00:06
So pause as needed.
00:08
So the first term that you have is metabolism.
00:14
And i would define that as the sum of all chemical reactions that occur within a living organism to maintain life.
00:28
And then anabolism.
00:35
This is going to be the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones.
00:40
So it's going to require energy, and it's going to be associated with growth and repair processes.
00:49
Then you have catabolism.
00:57
Catabolism i would define as the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones.
01:03
This is going to release energy, and it's going to provide any of the building blocks and energy needed for the anabolic processes.
01:14
So this allows for this.
01:19
Next, you have oxidation.
01:30
Oxidation i would define as involving a loss of electrons from a molecule.
01:36
It often is going to be coupled with reduction, which is our next term.
01:46
So reduction i would define as involving a gain of electrons by a molecule.
01:50
It often is going to accompany, again, oxidation.
01:53
So these two are a pair that can go together.
01:59
This is one gains, one loses, and vice versa.
02:04
Your next term here is atp, or adenosine triphosphate.
02:17
And i would define this as a high energy molecule that serves the purpose of currency in the cells.
02:26
So it's a way that our cells store and release energy during cell processes.
02:33
The next term that you have is phosphorylation.
02:36
I would define phosphorylation as the addition of a phosphate group to a molecule.
02:50
This could be adp becoming atp.
02:54
It often is going to activate or deactivate the enzyme in the cellular process.
03:02
The next term we have is glycolysis.
03:10
Glycolysis is going to be the first step of cellular respiration.
03:15
It breaks down glucose into pyruvate molecules.
03:18
You're going to produce a small amount of atp and nadh.
03:30
Then you have the krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, also known as the tca cycle.
03:42
It's called krebs.
03:44
I would define this as a series of chemical reactions.
03:47
It's going to be occurring in the mitochondria.
03:51
And it completes the oxidation of glucose -derived molecules.
03:55
So you're going to be oxidizing molecules from glucose from the process of glycolysis...
