Animals

Question 6

What elements are recyled in Respiration?

Answer 6

CO2 and H2O

Question 7

When larger molecules are broken down into smaller ones (Exothermic); releases energy

Answer 7

Catabolism

Question 8

Complex molecules synthesized from simpler substances (Endothermic); absorbs and stores energy

Answer 8

Anabolism

Question 9

These are energy-yielding nutrients in Catabolism

Answer 9

1. Carbohydrates
2. Fats
3. Proteins

Question 10

These are the cell macromolecules in Anabolism

Answer 10

1. Proteins
2. Polysaccharides
3. Lipids
4. Nucleic Acids

Question 10

This is the energy-poor end products in Catabolism

Answer 10

1. H20
2. CO2
3. NH3

Question 11

These are the precursor molecules in Anabolism

Answer 11

1. Amino acids
2. Sugars
3. Fatty acids
4. Nitrogenous bases

Question 12

This pathways serve both in catabolism and anabolism

Answer 12

Amphibolic pathways

Question 13

This occur at the crossroads of metabolism and links between anabolic and catabolic pathways

Answer 13

Amphibolic pathways

Question 14

This means stimulation and inhibationn of pathways as per cellular need

Answer 14

Regulation

Question 15

This chemical/protein regulates the metabolic pathways

Answer 15

Hormones

Question 16

These are regulated to allow the organism to respond to changing conditions

Answer 16

Metabolic Pathways

Question 17

Every metabolic pathway has its

Answer 17

Specific regulatory enzymes/key enzymes

Question 18

Hormones regulates by either

Answer 18

stimulating or inhibiting key enzymes of the pathway

Question 19

TRUE OR FALSE

Enzymes along with Coenzymes biocatalyze specific metabolic reactions

Answer 19

TRUE

Question 20

TRUE OR FALSE

Enzymes are the Functional units of Life

Answer 20

FALSE

“Functional units of METABOLISM”
