Metabolism explains how the cells in the body use nutrients to meet its needs. Cells may start with small, simple compounds and

use them as building blocks to form larger, more complex structures (anabolism). These anabolic reactions involve doing work and so require energy. Alternatively, cells may break down large compounds into smaller ones (catabolism). Catabolic reactions usually release energy. Determine whether the following reactions are anabolic or catabolic.
1. Oxidation reaction
2. Muscle tissue breakdown -> release of amino acids
3. Adipose tissue formed from fatty acids
4. A-OH + H-B -> AB + HOH
5. AB + HOH -> A-OH + H-B
6. Beta oxidation of fatty acids
7. Gluconeogenesis
8. NADH+H2 -> NAD+

1. Catabolic

2. Catabolic

3. Anabolic

4. Anabolic

5. Catabolic

6. Catabolic

7. Anabolic

8. Anabolic

Explanation: Catabolic reactions are exothermic meaning they release alot of energy and electrons, whereas anabolic reactions are endothermic using up alot of energy for production and storage. Breaking down glucose to produce ATP is an example of a catabolic reaction. Using fatty acids and lipids to make adipose tissues is an example of an anabolic reaction, breaking down adipocytes for production of heat and ketone bodies is catabolic.

These proteins have a basic structure which consists of two pairs of polypeptide chains that are linked covalently via disulfide bonds.

Each antibody recognises one specific antigen and this feature is called as antibody specificity.

How does cancer affect the cell cycle? What is done differently in the cell cycle?
valentinak56 [21]

Cancer cells affect the cell cycle by not following the checkpoints and dividing abnormally and not getting destroyed by the process of apoptosis leading to the formation of tumours.

In the cell cycle during the mitotic phase the cell divides resulting in two daughter cells and segregation of DNA occurs in this. In cell cycle, there are checkpoints of signalling pathways which determine when the cell has to grow and divide. The healthy cells follow the cell cycle.

Explanation:

Cancer cells become immortal and result in faulty proteins which are not required by the system. The cancer cells grow uncontrollably and are abnormally shaped.

The cell cycle has check points at S phase and G2 phase before it enters the Mitotic phase of division. Normal cells follow the checkpoints.
