Chapter 3- Bio Thermodynamics

Question 1

Metabolism

Answer 1

-series of chemical reactions happening in a given organism.

Question 2

Catabolic

Answer 2

• process involving the breakdown of larger molecules for energy (ATP)
• exergonic (release free energy -∆G)
• spontaneous

Question 3

Anabolic

Answer 3

• process that uses energy (ATP) to build large molecules
• endergonic (requires energy)
• nonspontaneous

Question 4

Aerobic Cellular respiration

Answer 4

-occurs in the presence of oxygen to produce an abundance of ATP to catabolize carbohydrates.

Question 5

Anaerobic cellular respiration

Answer 5

-oxygen is not needed but less energy is produced
