  1. 1.3.5 Energy Transfer Reactions Anabolic & Catabolic Or Anabolism & Catabolism

  2. Anabolic Reactions This is where energy is used to make large molecules (e.g. C6H12O6) from smaller ones (e.g. CO2 and H2O) using enzymes e.g. Photosynthesis – glucose molecules are formed from carbon dioxide and water using enzymes and the energy from the sun. This is anabolism. Energy is absorbed.

  3. Small molecule Small molecule ENERGY Larger molecule An Anabolic Reaction Energy being used to join two small molecules to make a larger molecule

  4. Catabolic Reactions This is where energy is released when large molecules (e.g. C6H12O6) are broken down to form smaller ones (e.g. CO2 and H2O) using enzymes e.g. Respiration – glucose molecules are broken down by enzymes to form carbon dioxide and water and energy is released. This is catabolism. Energy is released.

  5. Learning check Explain Anabolism Energy absorbed. Small  large molecules Give an example of an anabolic reaction Photosynthesis Explain Catabolism Energy released. Large  small molecules Give an example of a catabolic reaction Respiration

  6. Is catabolism the opposite of anabolism? In the examples just given the chemical processes (pathways*) involved in each of them are different, therefore catabolism is not the opposite of anabolism. * e.g. if you travel from A to B – you followed a certain pathway. On the return journey you may come home through C – you followed a different pathway.

  7. Energy Transfer Reactions Respiration – Catabolic reaction C6H12O6 + Oxygen  Energy + CO2 + H2O release Photosynthesis – Anabolic reaction CO2 + H2O + Energy  C6H12O6 + Oxygen absorbed

  8. Learning check Is anabolism the opposite of catabolism ? No Why? Different chemical pathways involved in both.

  9. Need to know Definition of the terms: Anabolic Catabolic Give an example of each
