Chapter 1: Metabolic Processes

Question 1

Metabolism has what two major categories?

Answer 1

1) Catabolism

2) Anabolism

Question 2

What is catabolism?

Answer 2

Degradation in which nutrients and cell constitutes are broken down so as to salvage their components and/or to generate energy.

Question 3

What is anabolism?

Answer 3

Is biosynthesis in which biomolecules are synthesized from simpler components.

Question 4

The energy required by anabolic processes is provided by what?

Answer 4

catabolic processes largely in the form of adensoine triphosphat (ATP)

Question 5

ATP is produced from what?

Answer 5

ADP and phosphate ion

Question 6

ATP is produced by what type of metabolism?

Answer 6

Anabolism; ATP is produced from ADP and phosphate ion in photosynthesis and biological oxidation of nutrients.

Question 7

Reactions driven on the hydrolysis of ATP are what type of metabolism?

Answer 7

Catabolism

Question 8

Biosynthesis and transporting molecules agains a concentration gradient and muscle contraction are driven by what?

Answer 8

The hydrolysis of ATP
