GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY CWV 101
STUDY GUIDE PRACTICE TEST 2026 TESTED
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ Anabolism. Answer: Metabolic pathways that construct molecules,
requiring energy.
⩥ 1st law of thermodynamics. Answer: The principle of conservation of
energy. Energy can be transferred and transformed, but it cannot be
created or destroyed.
⩥ 2nd law of thermodynamics. Answer: Every energy transfer or
transformation increases the entropy of the universe.
⩥ Entropy. Answer: A measure of disorder or randomness.
⩥ Free energy coupling and ATP. Answer: Free energy converts ATP to
ADP.
⩥ Potential energy. Answer: stored energy
⩥ Kinetic energy. Answer: energy of motion
, ⩥ Endorgonic. Answer: a reaction that absorbs free energy from its
surroundings EX: Photosynthesis
⩥ Exorgonic. Answer: a reaction that releases free energy to its
surroundings EX: Repiration
⩥ Aerobic respiration. Answer: Respiration that requires oxygen
⩥ Fermentation (anaerobic respiration). Answer: Process by which cells
release energy in the absence of oxygen
⩥ Role of NADH and FADH2 in cellular respiration. Answer: removal
of hydrogen atoms by redox coenzymes FAD becomes FADH2 and
NAD+ becomes NADH
⩥ Activation energy. Answer: Energy needed to get a reaction started
⩥ Enzymes. Answer: Catalysts for chemical reactions in living things
⩥ Active site. Answer: A region on an enzyme that binds to a protein or
other substance during a reaction.
⩥ Induced fit hypothesis. Answer: Partial binding of a substrate to an
enzyme alters the structure of the enzyme.
