Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of anabolic pathways in metabolism?

  • Release energy from chemical reactions
  • Synthesize ATP molecules from ADP and Pi
  • Break down molecules into smaller units to release energy
  • Construct molecules from smaller units, usually requiring energy (correct)
  • Which type of reaction is characteristic of catabolic pathways?

  • Endergonic reactions that release energy
  • Exergonic reactions that release energy (correct)
  • Endothermic reactions that break down molecules
  • Exergonic reactions that require energy input
  • What is the net result of an endergonic reaction in terms of energy?

  • Energy is required for the reaction to proceed (correct)
  • No energy is gained or lost in the reaction
  • Energy is stored in the products of the reaction
  • Energy is released from the reactants

    Study Notes

    Anabolic Pathways

    • Construct complex molecules from simpler ones
    • Require energy input, often in the form of ATP

    Catabolic Pathways

    • Break down complex molecules into simpler ones
    • Release energy, often in the form of ATP

    Endergonic Reactions

    • Require energy input
    • Products have higher free energy than reactants

    Exergonic Reactions

    • Release energy
    • Products have lower free energy than reactants

    Metabolism

    • The sum of all chemical reactions that occur within a living organism
    • Involves anabolic and catabolic pathways
    • Enables organisms to grow, reproduce, and maintain life
