Exam Overview
Examination: CHEM 210 Biochemistry – Modules 1–8 & Final Exam
Institution: Portage Learning
Course: CHEM 210 – Biochemistry
Purpose: This comprehensive practice test bank covers all eight modules of the Portage
Learning CHEM 210 Biochemistry course, plus a cumulative final exam. The questions are
designed to assess understanding of core biochemical concepts including macromolecules,
organic chemistry, biomolecules, enzyme kinetics, bioenergetics, metabolic pathways, and
molecular biology.
Exam Structure:
| Module | Topic | Approx. Questions |
|--------|-------|-------------------|
| Module 1 | Introduction to Biochemistry & Organic Chemistry | 40 |
| Module 2 | Biomolecules – Carbohydrates & Lipids | 40 |
| Module 3 | Proteins & Nucleic Acids | 40 |
| Module 4 | Enzyme Kinetics & Regulation | 40 |
| Module 5 | Bioenergetics & Thermodynamics | 30 |
,| Module 6 | Glycolysis & Fermentation | 30 |
| Module 7 | Citric Acid Cycle & Oxidative Phosphorylation | 30 |
| Module 8 | Lipid & Amino Acid Metabolism | 30 |
| Final Exam | Comprehensive Review | 20 |
Key Concepts Tested:
- Macromolecules and functional groups
- Carbohydrate, lipid, protein, and nucleic acid structure and function
- Enzyme kinetics, catalysis, inhibition, and regulation
- Bioenergetics, Gibbs free energy, and ATP
- Glycolysis, fermentation, and gluconeogenesis
- Citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation
- Lipid and amino acid metabolism
- DNA replication, transcription, and translation
How to Use This Practice Bank:
1. Complete each module section to test your knowledge of specific topics
2. Use the rationales to reinforce understanding of core concepts
3. Take the final exam section for comprehensive review
4. Score yourself using the answer key at the end

Module 1: Introduction to Biochemistry & Organic Chemistry
Questions 1–40
, ---
Question 1
True or False: According to the module, a compound with a molecular mass of 1,000 g/mol is
considered a macromolecule.
A) True
B) False
Answer: B) False
Rationale: Macromolecules are generally defined as having a molecular mass greater than 5,000
g/mol. A compound with a molecular mass of 1,000 g/mol would not be considered a
macromolecule according to the module.
---
Question 2
True or False: Biomolecules can have only two functional groups.
A) True
B) False
Answer: B) False
Rationale: Biomolecules can have two or more different functional groups. The statement "only
two" is incorrect.
