How do anabolic and catabolic reactions relate to metabolism?
How do anabolic and catabolic reactions relate to metabolism?
- Anabolic and catabolic reactions both release energy, differing only in the type of molecules they affect in metabolism.
- Anabolic reactions release energy, while catabolic reactions use energy, both contributing to metabolism.
- Anabolic reactions break down molecules and catabolic reactions build molecules, and neither uses energy.
- Anabolic reactions build larger molecules using energy, while catabolic reactions break down large molecules releasing energy; both are aspects of metabolism. (correct)
During aerobic respiration, which of the following describes the relationship between inputs, outputs, and the organelles involved?
During aerobic respiration, which of the following describes the relationship between inputs, outputs, and the organelles involved?
- Glucose and oxygen are inputs, carbon dioxide, water, and ATP are outputs, occurring in the mitochondria. (correct)
- Oxygen and ATP are inputs, glucose and water are outputs, occurring in the cytoplasm.
- Oxygen and glucose are inputs, carbon dioxide and water are outputs, occurring primarily in the ribosomes.
- Carbon dioxide and water are inputs, oxygen and glucose are outputs, occurring in the mitochondria.
How do organic and inorganic compounds differ in their structural composition?
How do organic and inorganic compounds differ in their structural composition?
- Organic compounds contain carbon-oxygen bonds, while inorganic compounds contain carbon-nitrogen bonds.
- Organic compounds are solely composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, while inorganic compounds include all other elements.
- Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, while inorganic compounds always lack both carbon and hydrogen.
- Organic compounds are based on a carbon chain and include hydrogen, while inorganic compounds are not carbon-based. (correct)

Study Notes
- Metabolism involves the chemical reactions in body cells that convert food into energy.
Anabolic and Catabolic Reactions
- Anabolism is the process where small molecules are built into larger ones, requiring energy.
- Catabolism involves the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy.
Organic vs Inorganic Compounds
- Organic compounds are molecules containing a carbon chain, hydrogen atoms, and possibly oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur (e.g., proteins, lipids, carbohydrates).
- Inorganic compounds are molecules not based on a carbon chain (e.g., water, carbon dioxide, minerals, vitamins).
Carbohydrates
- Carbohydrates, composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, serve as the main energy source for cells.
- Monosaccharides are simple sugars found in fruits, including glucose, fructose, and galactose.
- Disaccharides consist of two joined sugars like sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
- Polysaccharides are made of many simple sugars, such as glycogen, cellulose, and starch.
Proteins
- Proteins consist of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
- Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
- Proteins are used in muscular growth and repair.
Protein Structures
- A peptide bond is a join between two amino acids.
- Dipeptides are two amino acids joined by a peptide bond.
- Polypeptides consist of ten or more amino acids joined by peptide bonds.
Lipids
- Lipids, made of carbon, hydrogen, and less oxygen than carbohydrates, serve as an energy source, stored as an energy reserve.
- Triglycerides make up for 98% of fat in the body
- They have one glycerol molecule and three fatty acids.
Nucleic Acids
- Nucleic acids are large molecules made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
- They contain nucleotides.
- DNA and RNA are nucleic acids.
