Introduction to Metabolism (GLYCOLYSIS)

____________describes the general process of breaking down large molecules into samller ones.

• metabolism
• anabolsim
• catabolism
• dehydration

Metabolism is best described as______

• synthesis of macromolecules
• breakdown of macromolecules
• control of enzyme activity
• control of enzyme activity in te synthesis and breakdown of macromolecules

True or False: Catabolic pathways consume energy to build up polymers from monomers.

• True
• False

A chemical reaction that has a positive change in G is correctly described as _____________

• endergonic
• exergonic
• spontaneous
• exothermic

ATP generally energizes a cellular process by ___________

• releasing heat upon hydrolysis
• acting as a catalyst
• releasing ribose to drive reactions
• direct chemical transfer of a phosphate group

True or False: Enzymes increase the rate of reaction.

• True
• False

Which of the following reactions would decrease entropy within a cell?

• anabolic
• catabolic
• diffusion
• digestion

 Metabolism is _______________

• a constant supply of energy from food
• an increase of entropy in an organism
• all the energy transformation reactions in an organism
• biochemical pathways involved in synthesis of macromolecules

Where does glycolysis take place in cells?

• Cytoplasm
• Mitochondrion
• Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Ribosomes

The first step of glycolysis results in the formation of:

• Glucose-6-Phosphate
• Fructose-6-Phosphate
• ATP
• 1,6 Bis-PhosphoGlycerate
