What are the main sources of energy What do we

use to do our daily activities

Which of your daily activities do you consider to

be indispensable to be able to live?

How do you think food is transformed into energy

What do we consume to be able to carry out our
activities?
It is the set of all chemical
transformations that occur in a
cell or organism, these
reactions are organized in
“metabolic pathways”

What is it?
Mention a reaction that
allows obtaining energy and
other where they are formed
molecules using part of this
energy.
 CATABOLISM

ANABOLISM

Phases
acids, or proteins), which come from the
external environment or from internal
reserves, they are degraded to simple
molecules (lactic acid, ammonia, carbon
dioxide, water ...). This degradation is
accompanied by a release of energy, which
is stored in the form of ATP.

Catabolism
CATABOLISM is a
degradative process,
oxidizing and
exergonic.
In this one, complex molecules are
manufactured from simpler molecules.
This synthesis requires energy, which
will be provided by the ATP. The
synthesized molecules become part of
the Cellular components or are stored
for later use as a source of energy.

ANABOLISM
ANABOLISM is a
constructive, reducing
and endergonic process
