Question 1
pts
True or False: As movement requires energy, metabolism can be
defined as a controlled set of biochemical reactions that occur in
only motile organisms in order to maintain life.
True
Correct!
False
Metabolism occurs in all living organisms, not just those that move.
Question 2
pts
True or False: Enzymes are polysaccharides that catalyze
chemical reactions.
You Answered
True
Correct Answer
False
Question 3
, pts
What are the usually metal ions known to assists enzymes during
the catalysis reaction?
Your Answer:
Hydrolases
Isomerases
Ligases
Lyases
Oxidoreductases
transferases
Cofactors are usually metal ions and assist enzymes during
the catalysis reaction.
Question 4
pts
Define anabolism.
Your Answer:
Is the constructing or biosynthesis of macromolecules from tiny
molecular parts into bigger complexes; it is mostly related to
celluar growth and repair.
Anabolism is the process of building up or biosynthesis of
macromolecules from small molecular units into much larger
complexes.
Question 5
pts
, In order to convert proteins into amino acids which metabolic
process would be active?
Your Answer:
Catabolism
Catabolism would be active as proteins are made up of
amino acids. Therefore the process described (proteins into
amino acids) is the breakdown, or catabolism of protein.
Question 6
pts
Describe the energy transfer process relative to both ATP and
ADP.
Your Answer:
ATP donate Energy and ADP accept Energy
ATP has the energy (phosphate group) to donate while ADP
can accept energy in the form of a phosphate group. Thus,
ATP can be reduced (ATP
⟶
ADP + Pi) while ADP can be built into ATP (ADP + Pi
⟶
ATP).
Question 7
pts
An organism that derives its energy (generates ATP) from
photons of light is called a _________?
Your Answer:
