Match the following: AB + C → AC + B
Exchange reaction
Catabolic reactions involve __________.

Which atom is present in each unlabeled corner of this simplified structure diagram?
Carbon
Which of the following is false regarding carbon?
Carbon contains six valence shell electrons.
Which of the following is true concerning the rates of chemical reactions?
Chemical reactions progress most rapidly when the reacting particles are present in high numbers because their chance of successful collisions is greater.
Which of the following factors would speed up the rate of a chemical reaction?
High concentration of reacting particles
Lemon juice is more acidic than coffee because
Lemon juice has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions and therefore a lower pH value compared to black coffee
The reaction shown is of what type?
Synthesis
Which of the following types of chemical reactions always involves atoms or molecules combining to form a larger, more complex molecule?
Synthesis
Match the following: A + B → AB
Synthesis reaction
When a cell is placed in a solution that is more concentrated, water will leave the cell and the cell will shrink. What will happen to the rate of intracellular chemical reactions in this situation?
The rate of chemical reactions will speed up.
