Amphilbolic

In anaerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor is?

An inorganic molecule other than oxygen

A molecule that undergoes reduction

Gain one or more electron

In cyclic photo phosphorylation, the electrons

Return to chlorophyll

What are the overall net product of glycolysis

38

In the light dependent reactions

ADP is converted to ATP

The building of complex organic molecules from simpler ones is called

Anabolism

In the Calvin Benson cycle

Carbon dioxide is used to synthesize sugars

The breakdown of complex organic compounds into simpler ones is called

Catabolism

____ use electron from reduced inorganic compounds as a source of energy and CO2 as a source of carbon

Chemoautotrophs

Where does photosynthesis place is eukaryotic cells?

Chloroplasts

The first step in the Karen's cycle is formation of

Citric acid

Many apoenzymes are inactive by themselves and must be activated by

Cofactors and or coenzymes

Inhibitors that fill the enzyme active site and compete with the normal substrate are

Competitive

In lipid biosynthesis glycerol is derived from dihydroxyacetone phosphate formed during

Glycolysis

Enzyme increase the speed of a chemical reaction by

Lowering the energy of activation

In fermentation

The final electron acceptor is organic

If an anime group to a precursor comes from a preexisting amino acid, the process is called

Transamination
