Metabolism refers to the process of turning DNA into proteins

d)

Metabolism is the process by which your body converts energy into what you eat and drink.

a)

photosynthesis and respiration

b)

endocytosis and exocytosis

c)

osmosis and diffusion

d)

catabolism and anabolism

3.

A biochemical reaction is just a _________ reaction that takes place in an __________.

a)

powerful, organism

b)

chemical, organism

c)

cellular, organelle

d)

short, organelle

4.

What does energy coupling mean?

a)

the energy created by catabolic reactions is used to power anabolic reactions

b)

the energy created by anabolic reactions is used to power catabolic reactions

5.

What is the role of enzymes in metabolism?

a)

Enzymes slow down biochemical reactions so that they happen properly

b)

Enzymes have no role in metabolism.

c)

Enzymes are only involved in the breakdown of biomolecules

d)

Enzymes speed up and help to regulate biochemical reactions.

6.

What is anabolic metabolism?

a)

Anabolic metabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that break down smaller molecules into larger ones, releasing energy.

b)

Anabolic metabolism is the process of converting energy into ATP.

c)

Anabolic metabolism is the breakdown of larger molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy.

d)

Anabolic metabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that build larger molecules from smaller ones, requiring energy input.

7.

What is catabolic metabolism?

a)

The process of storing energy in molecules.

b)

The conversion of energy from one form to another.

c)

The breakdown of molecules into smaller units, releasing energy.

d)

The synthesis of molecules from smaller units, requiring energy.

8.

What is a metabolic pathway?

a)

A type of biochemical reaction that leads to larger and larger biomolecules

b)

A type of biochemical reaction that leads to smaller and smaller biomolecules

c)

The pathway that cells take to move from one type of tissue to another

d)

A series of linked biochemical reactions where the products of one reaction become the reactants of the next

9.

All metabolic reactions involve which two things (Select BOTH answers.)

a)

energy

b)

DNA

c)

RNA

d)

enzymes

10.

Chemical reactions are perfectly energy efficient. No energy is lost during the reaction.

a)

True

b)

False

11.

What is the ATP molecule and its role in energy metabolism?

a)

ATP is a molecule that stores and releases energy in cells.

b)

ATP is a molecule that is only found in plants.

c)

ATP is a molecule that is used for cell division.

d)

ATP is a molecule that is produced in the mitochondria.

12.

What factors can affect metabolic rate?

a)

Height, weight, and blood type.

b)

Eye color, hair color, and shoe size.

c)

Favorite color, favorite food, and favorite movie.

d)

Age, body composition, physical activity level, and hormone levels.

13.

Cells use ​ (a)   to do ​ (b)   such as ​ (c)   molecules, ​ (d)   and ​ (e)   large biomolecules like proteins.

Choose from the below words
energy
work
transporting
moving
building
14.

Which biochemical process is associated with catabolism?

a)

hydrolysis

b)

dehydration synthesis

15.

Which biochemical process is associated with anabolism?

a)

hydrolysis

b)

dehydration synthesis

16.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use light energy in order to create their own food, which is a form of chemical energy. In this process they build glucose molecules from carbon dioxide molecules. Which type of metabolic reaction is photosynthesis and why?

a)

a catabolic reaction because glucose is being broken down to release energy

b)

an anabolic reaction because energy is required in order to build glucose

c)

photosynthesis is not a metabolic reaction

17.

Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms break down the chemical energy contained in food in order to create ATP energy molecules. Carbohydrates such as glucose are the main molecule that is broken down in this process in order to make ATP. Which type of metabolic reaction is this and why?

a)

a catabolic reaction because larger molecules like glucose are broken down in order to release the energy needed to make ATP molecules

b)

an anabolic reaction because larger molecules like glucose are broken down in order to release the energy needed to make ATP molecules
