Bio 202 Metabolism quiz Questions With Complete Solutions

Metabolism correct answer: All of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism cellular metabolism correct answer: chemical reactions within cells nutrient pool correct answer: Accessible sources of organic nutrients metabolic turnover correct answer: Breaking down and replacement of organic components Anabolism correct answer: the synthesis of new organic molecules (from smaller molecules) catabolism correct answer: the breakdown of organic substrates into smaller molecules Glycogenesis correct answer: process whereby glycogen is synthesized from glucose Glycogenolysis correct answer: breakdown of glycogen to release glucose Gluconeogenesis correct answer: glucose synthesis from smaller carbon chains glycolysis correct answer: glucose breakdown into 2 three carbon molecules. occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell as first step of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration NAD and FAD correct answer: coenzymes involved in cellular respiration. remove hydrogen and electrons from ogranic substrates forming NADH and FADH2 Cellular Respiration (aerobic) correct answer: process consists of glycolysis, the preparatory reaction, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain. glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and is responsible for breaking glucose into two molecules of pyruvate which are 3 carbon molecules during the preparatory reaction, a carbon is removed from a pyruvate and it becomes a 2 carbon molecule carried by coenzyme A. Carbon Dioxide will be released. During the citric acid cycle, (also known as the Kreb's cycle) acetyl co A is oxidized. The electron transport chain takes place in the cristae of the mitochondria. Electrons are passed through a chain of proteins (electron acceptors.) Energy
