Coenzymes and/or cofactors are necessary for optimal enzyme activity.

True

False

Most cells use a tremendous amount of ATP

So our bodies therefore produce and maintain a huge amount of ATP in storage.

But the amount of stored ATP is not great because our body constantly generates ATP from ADP + P.

Mainly because ATP is not very efficient as an energy currency.

But only for chemical work; transport and mechanical work must use a different form of energy.

If an enzymatic reaction was controlled by feedback inhibition, we would expect it to stop

Only if the substrate was exhausted.

When the cofactors are exhausted.

When the product changed the pH.

As soon as a critical level of end product builds up.

Only if a metabolic poison is added.

Gasoline engines use energy more efficiently than cells.

True

False

The change in free energy of a reaction, delta G, is calculated by

Subtracting the free energy content of the products from that of the reactants.

Subtracting the free energy content of the reactants from that of the products.

Adding the free energy content of the products to that of the reactants.

The amount of free energy content of the reactants.

The amount of free energy content of the products.

A reaction is only considered an oxidation reaction when oxygen is involved.

True

False

The location in which the enzyme and substrate complexes is called the

Enzymes have "specificity." This means that they

Have a preferred pH.

Have a preferred temperature.

Have a particular substrate.

Are only in certain cells.

Require ATP and cofactors in order to work properly.

What is a metabolic reaction called that involves one reaction releasing energy to provide energy for a second reaction that requires energy?

When a kinase adds phosphates to an enzyme, it will only activate the enzyme.

True

False

The reason an increase in substrate concentration does not increase the reaction rate indefinitely is because

Eventually the enzyme will no longer recognize the substrate.

The active site will become saturated with substrate and the enzyme will not be able to go any faster.

Another enzyme will take advantage of the excess substrate and use it for a different reaction.

Enzymes cannot be used more than once in a reaction.

The enzyme will become denatured.

Will the reaction A + B turn into C spontaneously "move" forward if the free energy of A + B is 25 units and the free energy of C is 30 units?

Yes

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

Energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

Energy + C6H12O6 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

Energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

C6H12O6 + 6CO2 → 6O2 + 6H2O + energy

The metabolic pathways of photosynthesis and cellular respiration

Involve the same substrates and therefore the same enzymes.

Are exactly the same.

Involve oxidation reactions during photosynthesis and reduction reactions during respiration.

Involve oxidation reactions during respiration and reduction reactions during photosynthesis.

Both involve oxidation and reduction reactions.

The term metabolism refers to all of the chemical reactions that occur in a cell.

True

False

While science cannot describe "thinking" in physical terms, we are certain that the process involves metabolism inside brain cells. With positron emission tomography (PET scan), it is possible to inject short-lived isotopes and image the regions of the brain that have the most active metabolism during various mental activities. However

Thought cannot be linked to cell processes because energy is not related to matter.

Since thoughts can occur over and over, the requirement for a continual input of energy to prevent entropy does not apply to this cell activity.

The cellular energy expended in thinking must be less than the chemical bond energy supplied in food to these brain cells.

"thinking" is beyond the scope of science to study.

"thinking" is not a cellular process and therefore does not require energy.

Which statement most accurately describes the second law of thermodynamics?

Energy cannot be changed from one form to another without a loss of usable energy.

One usable form of energy can be completely converted into another usable form.

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed but it can be changed from one form to another.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Energy can be created or destroyed but it cannot be transformed.
