Your Answer:
Enzymes increase the pace of chemical reactions. They are generally under
regulation by cofactors, in the form of metal ions, that provide that provide
functions and assistance to enzymes during chemical reactions.
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions. Most notably, the enzyme is not
consumed during the reaction and can be used repeatedly by the cell.
Enzymes can also be regulated by a cofactor such that in the absence of
the proper cofactor, enzymes are inactive while
in its presence enzymes are active.
Question 3 pts
What is the difference between catabolism and anabolism?
Your Answer:
Catabolism us the metabolic process of breaking down larger molecules
into their smaller building blocks which can be used for energy.
Anabolism occurs when smaller molecules are combined to
create bigger, more complex units.
Catabolism is the process of breaking down larger
molecules into useful energy sources whereas anabolism
is the building up or biosynthesis of macromolecules
from smaller molecular units into larger complexes, most
often associated with cellular growth and repair.
