AP Biology Enzymes and Thermodynamics
UPDATED Exam Questions and
CORRECT Answers
metabolism - CORRECT ANSWER - all chemical processes that either break down or build
up large molecules
2 types of metabolism: - CORRECT ANSWER - catabolic and anabolic
catabolic - CORRECT ANSWER - break down, hydrolysis, digestion, mostly exergonic
reactions, results in higher disorder
anabolic - CORRECT ANSWER - building processes, dehydration synthesis, endergonic
processed, lower disorder
anabolism+catabolism - CORRECT ANSWER - =metabolism
ATP(adenosine triphosphate) and components - CORRECT ANSWER - modified nucleotide
3 phosphate, ribose, adenine
function of ATP - CORRECT ANSWER - provide energy for chemical reactions in cells
what happens when ADP gains Pi? - CORRECT ANSWER - reforms ATP
what does ATP provide?why? - CORRECT ANSWER - -small units of energy that can be
easily used to fuel single steps of chemical reactions
-this is because less is lost as heat and light
