Biosynthesis 1

What is biosynthesis?

• the production of molecules by living things

• the production of living things

• the production of molecules

• the production of waste by living things

How do we store excess food?

• as carbohydrates

• as proteins

• as fat

• we don't store excess food, we excrete it.

Which of the following is NOT a purpose of fat on our bodies?

• to store excess energy

• to protect our organs

• to serve as the primary reactant in cellular respiration

• to provide additional insulation

true or false, when making proteins the energy of the products is higher than the energy of the reactants

• true

• false

When making a protein from amino acids, what waste product is produced?

• carbon dioxide

• glucose

• water

• oxygen

if our bodies run out of glucose, where do we get our energy from next?

• proteins

• fats

• we don't. we have to consume more food

• nucleic acids

in biosynthesis...

• the products have less energy than the reactants

• the products have more energy than the reactants

• it depends on the reaction happening

• there is not enough information to say

which of the following is ALWAYS produced when performing biosynthesis of large molecules

• ATP

• ADP

• glucose

• amino acids

which of the following is ALWAYS used when performing biosynthesis of large molecules

• ATP

• ADP

• glucose

• amino acids

Where does fat go when we exercise and lose weight?

• we poop it out

• we urinate it out

• we sweat it out

• we breathe it out
