Fundamentals of Cellular Metabolism
and Bioenergetics.
Already graded!
Define catabolism - ANSWER✔ 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? - ANSWER✔ 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 -
ANSWER✔ 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 - ANSWER✔ Phototrophic microorganism
True or False: Metabolism is a controlled set of biochemical reactions
that occur in living organisms in to maintain life - ANSWER✔ True
T/F: Enzymes are polysaccharides that catalyze chemical reactions -
ANSWER✔ False (enzymes are proteins)
What are usually metal ions and assists enzyme during the catalysis
reaction? - ANSWER✔ Cofactors
