Metabolism 1

Front

Which of the following statements correctly describes a key difference between catabolism and anabolism?

Back

Catabolic processes are primarily oxidative, while anabolic processes are primarily reductive.

Front

In a covalent bond between two atoms of differing electronegativities, what happens to the potential energy of the shared electrons?

Back

The potential energy decreases as the more electronegative atom pulls the electrons closer.

Front

Which statement correctly describes the energy state of electrons in nonpolar covalent bonds compared to polar covalent bonds?

Back

Electrons in polar covalent bonds have lower potential energy because they are closer to the more electronegative atom.

Front

Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference between reduced and oxidized carbon compounds?

Back

Reduced carbon compounds typically have lower oxidation numbers for carbon atoms than oxidized carbon compounds.

Front

Which of the following carbon-containing compounds is considered to be in a highly reduced state?

Back

CH₄ (Methane)

Front

When comparing reduced and oxidized forms of carbon, which of the following best describes the energy state of their electrons?

Back

Electrons in reduced carbon compounds are in higher energy states because they are further from oxygen atoms.

Front

What is the primary reason reduced carbon compounds are energy-rich compared to oxidized carbon compounds?

Back

Reduced carbon compounds release more energy when oxidized due to the high-energy state of their electrons

Front

Which of the following correctly ranks the carbon compounds from most reduced to most oxidized?

Back

Methane (CH₄), Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆), Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

Front

During glycolysis, which enzyme is responsible for the direct generation of ATP?

Back

Pyruvate kinase

Front

Which of the following reactions in glycolysis consumes ATP?

Back

Conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate
