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




False
Metabolism occurs in all living organisms, not just those that move.




Question 2
pts

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

, Portage Learning / BIOD 171 Module 2 Quiz 2 2021

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:
