PORTAGE LEARNING CHEM 210 -
MODULE 7 PROBLEM SET.
, Question 1
pts
A scientist uses the term flux regarding a biochemical pathway. What does flux mean?
Flux is the rate of flow through a biochemical pathway.
Question 2
pts
A particular pathway breaks down proteins into amino acids. Is this an anabolic or a
catabolic pathway?
Catabolic. This is degradation of a molecule.
Question 3
pts

CoA connects to the carbon atom on the acetyl group? B) What nucleotide base is part
of CoA?
A) Sulfur B) Adenine
Question 4
pts
Both carbohydrates and lipids are broken down into Acetyl-CoA for further processing.
What pathway does Acetyl-CoA go to next?
Citric Acid Cycle (CAC)
