Advanced Biochemistry Exam 1 Material
Questions and Answers 100% Solved
Catabolism vs Anabolism - ✔✔Catabolism: Degradative pathways, energy
yielding, oxidative
Anabolism: Biosynthetic pathways, energy requiring, reductive
What is reaction coupling? - ✔✔coupling of a non spontaneous process
with a spontaneous process to drive the nonspontaneous reaction in the
forward direction.
What is important about inorganic pyrophosphatase? - ✔✔It is present in
every cell in our body and works fast. It breaks inorganic pyrophosphate
into to inorganic phosphates. Reaction is irreversible and drives overall
reaction forward (via reaction coupling)
Why is NADPH important? - ✔✔It's the reductive power for biosynthesis.
What is the group carried by ATP? - ✔✔Phosphoryl
What is the group carried by NADH and NADPH and what vitamin are
NADH/NADPH a precursor for? - ✔✔Electrons and Nicotinate (niacin)

, What is the group carried by FADH2 and what vitamin is FADH2 a
precursor for? - ✔✔Electrons and Riboflavin (or vitamin B2)
What is the group carried by FMNH2 and what vitamin is FMNH2 a
precursor for? - ✔✔Electrons and Riboflavin (or vitamin B2)
What is the group carried by Coenzyme A and what vitamin is a Acetyl CoA
a precursor for? - ✔✔Acyl and Pantothenate
What group is carried by Lipoamide? - ✔✔acyl
What group is carried by Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) and what vitamin
is TPP a precursor for? - ✔✔Adlehyde and thiamine (or vitamin B1)
What group is carried by biotin and what vitamin is biotin a precursor for? -
✔✔CO2 and biotin
What group is carried by tetrahydrofolate and which vitamin is
tetrahydrofolate a precursor for? - ✔✔One-carbon units and folate
What group is carried by S-Adenosylmetionine? - ✔✔methyl
