BIOD 171 MODULE 2 CERTIFICATION
EVALUATION 2026 COMPLETE QUESTIONS
AND ACCURATE ANSWERS

◉ What is the chemical reaction for the Calvin cycle?
Answer: 6 CO2 + 18 ATP + 12 NADPH + 12 H2O --> C6H12O6 + 18
ADP + 12 NADP+


◉ What determines the specificity of an enzyme?
Answer: The specificity of an enzyme is heavily influenced by its
active site - a unique chemical structure bound only by select target
molecules. The structure is influenced by the amino acid
composition of the protein as this in turn influences the fold, shape,
and 'appearance' of the enzyme. The active site (and its target
protein) can be thought of as a lock-and-key relationship. The active
site provides specificity (like a lock) that only specific target proteins
can bind - much like how only a specific key will fit into, unlock, and
'activate' a lock


◉ Do catabolic reactions release or consume energy?
Answer: Release


◉ Do anabolic pathways release or consume energy?

, Answer: Consume


◉ Do catabolic pathways rely on oxidized cofactors (like NAD+) to
oxidize intermediates, or do they rely on reduced cofactors (like
NADPH) to reduce intermediates?
Answer: They rely on oxidized cofactors (like NAD+) to oxidize
intermediates


◉ Do anabolic pathways rely on oxidized cofactors (like NAD+) to
oxidize intermediates, or do they rely on reduced cofactors (like
NADPH) to reduce intermediates?
Answer: They rely on reduced cofactors (like NADPH) to reduce
intermediates


◉ Is cellular respiration catabolic or anabolic?
Answer: Catabolic


◉ Is lipid biosynthesis catabolic or anabolic?
Answer: Anabolic


◉ Cofactors
Answer: -Metal ions that activate or enhance enzyme activity (like
Ca2+ or Zn2+)
-Regulate enzymes
