BIOD 101 Module 3 Exam Portage Learning Includes
Accurate And Verified Questions Covering Cell
Structure And Function, Membrane Transport, Cellular
Respiration, And Enzyme Activity. This Module
Focuses On Foundational Biological Principles
Essential/ LATEST EXAM!!!!
What is metabolism? - Answer-the chemical processes
that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life.
It manages the material and energy resources of a living
cell
2 types of metabolic pathways - Answer-catabolic and
anabolic
Catabolic - Answer-A process in which large molecules are
broken down into simpler compounds (energy released)
Example of catabolic pathway - Answer-cellular respiration
Anabolic - Answer-A process in which large molecules are
built from small molecules (energy is required)
, 2|Page
example of anabolic pathway - Answer-protein synthesis
What are the two general types of energy? - Answer-
kinetic and potential
kinetic energy - Answer-energy of motion (kinetic energy is
present in electrons as they move, blades of a windmill in
motion, or a car/bike as it rolls down the street)
potential energy - Answer-present in non-moving matter
(potential energy is found stored in the bonds of
molecules, in gradients where there is a higher
concentration of a substance on one side of a membrane,
in a bike perched at the top of a hill, or in a stretched
rubber band)
What is the difference between an energy TRANSFER
and TRANSFORMATION? - Answer-Energy is continually
TRANSFERRED (from source to source) and
TRANSFORMED (from one type of energy to another)
Example of energy transfer and transformation in a living
system - Answer-potential energy in gasoline is transferred
