Chemical reactions of metabolism -
correct answer ✅catebolic and anabolic reactions


Metabolism -
correct answer ✅The sum total of the biochemical reactions in
body.


Anabolic -
correct answer ✅1) Make bonds (synthesis)
2) Usually endergonic; energy absorbed into the formation of
chemical bonds.


Catabolic -
correct answer ✅1) Break bonds (decomposition rxns)
2) Usually exergonic; energy released in the breaking of chemical
bonds.

Questions & Answers (Grade A+)
Anabolic Rxns -
correct answer ✅Chemical reactions require a bit of energy to
force the formation of a highly unstable
transition state. Once this transition state is formed, it
spontaneously falls apart either into
products or back into the original reactants. The energy required to
force the transition
state is called the energy of activation. Catalysts, such as enzymes,
reduce the activation
energy, thus speeding up the chemical reaction


Catabolic Rxns -
correct answer ✅If the energy contained in the reactants is greater
than the energy of the products, the
reaction releases energy and is thus exergonic. If the energy
contained in the reactants is
less than the energy of the products, the reaction takes in energy
and is thus endergonic.


dehydration synthesis -
correct answer ✅-maltos formation
