Front

What is metabolism?

Back

All the energy transformation reactions in an organism.

Front

What does the induced fit model of enzyme activity suggest?

Back

The binding of substrate depends on the conformation of the active site.

Front

What is part of the first law of thermodynamics?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Front

What type of reaction is represented by A + B --> C?

Back

Anabolic.

Front

When is energy released from ATP?

Back

When a phosphate group is removed.

Front

Define anabolism.

Back

The metabolic process that builds larger molecules from smaller ones, requiring energy.

Front

Define catabolism.

Back

The metabolic process that breaks down larger molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy.

Front

What is the role of enzymes in metabolism?

Back

Enzymes act as catalysts to speed up biochemical reactions.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular metabolism?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is the relationship between metabolism and energy?

Back

Metabolism encompasses all chemical reactions that convert energy from food into usable forms.
