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 – Final Exam Review: Biochemistry. CH 1. THE SCIENCE OF BIOLOGY 1. What is biological hierarchy? Know the levels and examples. Nothing else. Amy’s Mom Made Carla’s Cat Try On Orange Skirts on the Pink Couch Earlier Before Brunch (love it!!!!) → Atoms (C, H, O, N, S, etc.) and Molecules (Water, amino acid, sugars) → Macromolecules (Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, etc) → Cell parts (Membrane, nucleus, mitochondria) → Cells (Uni/multicellular) → Ti...

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
