True or False: Metabolism is a controlled set of biochemical reactions that occur in living organisms in to maintain life - True T/F: Enzymes are polysaccharides that catalyze chemical reactions - False (enzymes are proteins) What are usually metal ions and assists enzyme during the catalysis reaction? - Cofactors Define catabolism - The process of breaking down larger molecules into useful energy sources. Upon cellular injury, which metabolic process is involved during the growth and repair phases of the cell? - The anabolic process would be active as it is involved in the building up of small complexes into larger complexes Describe 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 reduced (ATP-ADP+Pi) while ADP can be built into ATP (ADP+Pi-ATP) An organism that derives its energy (generates ATP) from photons of light is called - Phototrophic microorganism
