________ value of ΔG and ________ spontaneous
positive; are not - CORRECT ANSWER-Endergonic reactions are those that have a
________ value of ΔG and ________ spontaneous
spontaneous; do - CORRECT ANSWER-Exergonic reactions are those that are
________ and that ________ liberate free energy
nonspontaneous; do not - CORRECT ANSWER-Endergonic reactions are those that
are ________ and that ________ liberate free energy
energy needed for unfavorable reactions must be available in the form of heat -
CORRECT ANSWER-All of the following are specific requirements for energy in
biochemical processes except
endergonic; greater than - CORRECT ANSWER-Photosynthesis is an ________
process because the free energy of the products is ________ the free energy of the
reactants.
catabolism - CORRECT ANSWER-The biochemical process in which complex
molecules are broken down into simpler ones and energy is released is referred to as
, the sun - CORRECT ANSWER-The ultimate source of energy for all but a very few
biochemical reactions is
both A (anabolism) and B (catabolism) - CORRECT ANSWER-Metabolism is composed
of which process(es)?
mitochondrion - CORRECT ANSWER-The cellular organelle associated with energy
production is the
cytoplasm - CORRECT ANSWER-The contents of a cell found between the nuclear
membrane and the cell membrane are called the
citric acid cycle; ATP - CORRECT ANSWER-The mitochondria are the location where
________ takes place and most ________ is produced
mitochondria - CORRECT ANSWER-The cellular organelle that is responsible for most
cellular catabolic redox reactions is the
cristae of the mitochondria - CORRECT ANSWER-The enzymes of the oxidative
phosphorylation system are located in the
oxidative phosphorylation - CORRECT ANSWER-The process by which the cell
produces ATP in the mitochondria is called
linear - CORRECT ANSWER-A metabolic pathway that can be illustrated as A → B →
C → D is said to be a(an) ________ pathway
anabolism - CORRECT ANSWER-The biochemical process in which simple molecules
are combined to make larger ones and energy is consumed is referred to as
adenosine triphosphate - CORRECT ANSWER-The abbreviation ATP stands for
spiral - CORRECT ANSWER-A metabolic pathway in which a molecule is progressively
built up by repeated interaction with the same set of enzymes is a(an) ________
pathway
cyclic - CORRECT ANSWER-A metabolic pathway in which a series of steps, each
using different enzymes, regenerates one of the early reactants, is a(an) ________
pathway
