When a molecule of NAD+ gains a hydrogen atom (not a hydrogen ion) the molecule becomes
correct answers reduced
In an exergonic reaction, what is the relationship between the amount of free energy in the
reactants and the amount of free energy in the products? correct answers The reactants have more
free energy.

aquaporins in the membrane.
In the experiment used to identify the source of oxygen lost from photosynthesis, researchers
correct answers used an isotope of carbon in CO2
Reactants capable of interacting to form products in a chemical reaction must first overcome a
thermodynamic barrier known as the reaction's correct answers activation energy
Which of the following steps leads to the complete oxidation of the carbon in glucose? correct

stroma
What effect do enzymes have on the △G of a chemical reaction? correct answers Enzymes have
no effect on △G
In chemiosmotic phosphorylation, what is the most direct source of energy that is used to convert
ADP + Pi to ATP? correct answers energy released from movement of protons through ATP
synthase
