Biochemistry Metabolism Quiz

A metabolic pathway that builds complex molecules from simpler ones, requiring energy input.

A metabolic pathway that breaks down complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy.

A metabolic pathway that can be both anabolic and catabolic, participating in both synthesis and breakdown of molecules.

Breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen, yielding 6-8 ATP.

Breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen, yielding 2 ATP.

Complete breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen, yielding 36-38 ATP.

Breakdown of pyruvate into Acetyl CoA, yielding 6 ATP per 2 molecules.

Breakdown of acetyl CoA, yielding 42 ATP per molecule.

ATP production by direct transfer of a phosphate group from an intermediate to ADP.

NADP is the coenzyme required by the pentose phosphate pathway.

Hexokinase, glucokinase, Phosphofructokinase, Pyruvate kinase are key players in glucose breakdown.

Citrate synthase, Isocitrate synthase, α-ketoglutarate DH are crucial enzymes in Krebs cycle.

Glucose-6-phosphate DH is a key enzyme in HMP shunt.
