catabolic reaction

• the breakdown of bigger molecules to smaller ones and uses energy

• the build up of simpler molecules into more complex molecules and uses energy

• the breakdown of complex molecules into more simpler molecules and doesn't require energy

• the build up of small molecules into bigger ones and doesn't require energy

anabolic reaction

• the build up of complex molecules from simpler molecules and requires energy

• the breakdown of bigger molecules to smaller ones and uses energy

• the build up of small molecules into bigger ones and doesn't require energy

• the breakdown of complex molecules into more simpler molecules and doesn't require energy

What is the advantage of membrane compartments

• increase surface area

• increase volume

• increase the surface area to volume ratio

• increase surface area to diffusion ratio

This is high between active site and substrate and low between active site and product

• orientation

• lowers activation energy

• induced fit

• affinity

apart from proteins what else is found in the cell membrane

• phospholipids

• high energy electrons

• hydrogen

• enzymes
