In order for the cell to be able to input energy into necessary endergonic reactions, energy-generating processes such as photosynthesis, fermentation, and respiration are used to produce ___

ATP

The energy made available during cell respiration and fermentation is used to make _________blank, which is then available to provide energy for cellular work.

ATP

Which of the following is/are true about enzymes?

All of the above choices are correct (Enzymes are catalysts that speed up reactions.; Enzymes are highly specific for the substrates they react with and catalyze only one or a limited set of possible reactions with those substrates.; Enzymes are proteins that can be denatured by changes in pH or temperature.)

Consider a biochemical pathway that branches to form two different products. If the end product of one of the branches is present in a large amount, at what point would the pathway be regulated to ensure adequate production of the end product of the alternative pathway while slowing or stopping production of the product already present in excess?

At the point where the two pathways branch

In the electron transport chain, why do electrons flow in one direction from NADH to O2 rather than the reverse direction, or randomly?

Electrons flow from NADH to O2 because NADH has the most negative reduction potential and O2 the most positive with electron carriers in between, each becoming more positive to direct the electron flow.

The most commonly used practical form of energy used in cells is adenosine diphosphate. (T/F)

False

When the end product of a pathway inhibits catalysis of the first step of that pathway, this phenomenon is called _______

Feedback inhibition

Which strategy can be used for regulation of metabolism?

How does the binding of a regulatory molecule to the allosteric site affect the activity of an enzyme? (Check all that apply.)

It may change the affinity of the enzyme for its substrate. It may change the maximum velocity of the enzyme. It may decrease the activity of the enzyme. It may increase the activity of the enzyme. It may change the shape of the enzyme.

denaturation

A chemical reaction that requires an input of energy in order to proceed is __________.

endergonic

Cells must efficiently transfer energy from their energy-trapping systems to the systems actually carrying out work and also use various metabolic processes to replace the energy used in doing work. This is called the

energy cycle

The most specific term usually used to describe a substance in a biological system that increases the rate of a reaction without being permanently changed by the reaction is a(n) ______

enzyme

Enzymes decrease the overall free energy change in a chemical reaction. (T/F)

false

When the amount of enzyme present is held constant, the rate of a reaction will continue to increase as long as the substrate concentration increases. (T/F)

false

A bacterial biosynthetic pathway synthesizes an amino acid in a series of steps, each catalyzed by a different enzyme. The bacteria is transferred to fresh media where the amino acid is present in abundance. The amino acid binds to a regulatory site on the first enzyme in the pathway, effectively shutting down the entire process. This is an example of __________
