Question 1
True or False: Metabolism is a controlled set of biochemical reactions that occur in
living organisms in order to maintain life.
True


Question 2
True or False: Enzymes are polysaccharides that catalyze chemical reactions.
False
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions.


Question 3
What is a cofactor? And give a general example.
Your Answer:
A cofactor is a small chemical component that assists an enzyme during
the
catalysis reactions. A cofactor is usually metal ions.


Question 4
Define anabolism.
Anabolism is the process of building up or biosynthesis of macromolecules
from small molecular units into much larger complexes.


Question 5
In order to convert proteins into amino acids which metabolic process would be
active?
Your Answer:
Catabolism would be active as proteins are made up of amino acids.

Therefore the process described (proteins into amino acids) is the
breakdown or catabolism of protein.


Question 6
Describe the energy transfer process relative to both ATP and ADP.
ATP has the energy (phosphate group) to donate while ADP can accept
energy in the form of a phosphate group. Thus, ATP can be
dephosphorylated (ATP ->
ADP + Pi), while ADP can be phosphorylated into ATP (ADP + Pi ->ATP).


Question 7
From what source do chemotrophs acquire energy?
Chemotrophs acquire energy from preformed chemicals found in the
environment.


Question 8
An organism that derives its energy by removing electrons from elemental sulfur
would be classified as a __________?
Lithotroph


Question 9
This phosphorylation process occurs in the mitochondria of chemotropic
eukaryotes.
Oxidative phosphorylation


Question 10
The catabolism of a single molecule of glucose goes through what 3 distinct
transitions?
The breakdown of glucose goes through (1) Glycolysis then (2)
Fermentation
or Respiration and finally through (3) the electron transport chain (ETC).
