catabolic reactions
|
reactions that break down larger molecules into their constituent parts |
15. |
cellular respiration
|
production of ATP from glucose oxidation via glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation |
16. |
cholecystokinin
|
(CCK) hormone that stimulates the release of pancreatic lipase and the contraction of the gallbladder
to release bile salts |
17. |
