Summary Introduction

To describe:

The general functions of catabolism and anabolism.

Introduction:

All the chemical reactions happening in an organism’s body to maintain the body are called metabolic processes. Metabolisms are of two types:anabolism and catabolism. In anabolic processes, organic compounds are made, whereas, in catabolic processes, complex organic compounds are broken down.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Catabolism breaks down the complex organic compounds. The carbohydrates (polysaccharides) are broken down into disaccharides (sucrose, maltose) and then further to monosaccharide (glucose, fructose). Similarly, fats are broken into fatty acids and glycerol. The proteins are digested into single amino acids.

Anabolism makes complex organic compounds from simple organic molecules. Monosaccharides are joined together by glycosidic linkages to form disaccharides and ultimately polysaccharides (glycogen). Three fatty acid chains are joined to one glycerol molecule to make a triglyceride (common fat). Amino acids are joined to one another by peptide bonds to form proteins.

Conclusion

Catabolism and anabolism of different organic compounds are necessary to gain energy and build the body.

Awnser these Discussion Questions Answer these discussion questions and submit them as part of your lab report. Part A: The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the temperature of the solution. How is the oxygen production in 30 seconds related to the rate of the reaction? At what temperature is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain. Why might the enzyme activity decrease at very high temperatures? Why might a high fever be dangerous to humans? What is the optimal temperature for enzymes in the human body? Part B: The Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the pH of the solution. At what pH is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain. Why does changing the pH affect the enzyme activity? Research the enzyme catalase. What is its function in the human body? What is the optimal pH for the following enzymes found in the human body? Explain. (catalase, lipase (in your stomach),…
