AP Biology Enzymes Quiz UPDATED
Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
Metabolism - CORRECT ANSWER - the totality of an organisms chemical reactions that
result from interactions between molecules within the cell
metabolic pathway - CORRECT ANSWER - a sequence of chemical reactions undergone by a
compound in a living organism, start with substrate end with product
