In order to function properly, cells must perform many reactions. Metabolism is the sum of all the chemical reactions in an organism. During metabolism, ATP

I. is broken down to fuel chemical reactions.

II. is created by chemical reactions.

III. is shuttled from one cell to another.

• III only

• I, II, and III

• I and III only

• I and II only

In the process of photosynthesis, plant cells take in water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and release oxygen (O2). How is this different from what takes place in the process of aerobic respiration?

• In aerobic respiration, cells take in O2 and produce CO2, H2O, and ATP.

• In aerobic respiration, cells use ATP to convert insulin into glucose and CO2.

• In aerobic respiration, O2 is inhaled and CO2 and H2O are exhaled.

• In aerobic respiration, mitochondria produce CO2 and ATP without using O2.

Through the process of hydrolysis, cells remove phosphate groups from molecules of ATP to form molecules of ADP.

This hydrolytic reaction results in

• the breaking of low-energy bonds to produce free energy.

• the formation of high-energy bonds to store free energy.

• the formation of low-energy bonds to store free energy.

• the breaking of high-energy bonds to produce free energy.
