Explain the importance of energy and entropy for living cells. State the role of enzymes in controlling metabolic biochemistry. Describe how catabolism converts many complex food molecules to a few kinds of catabolites. Explain how catabolism yields energy and how the energy is stored for use. Describe how the energy carriers ATP and NADH transfer energy between energy-yielding and energy-spending reactions.
