Metabolism and Bioenergetics
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A cell's metabolism is the sum of every chemical reaction taking place inside it; bioenergetics is the study of how energy flows through those reactions.
Show
Breaking down a sugar molecule and building a new protein are both metabolic reactions, one releasing energy and one requiring it.
Watch for
Metabolism names every reaction in the cell together, not any single reaction or pathway alone.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
