15 Questions
Which process involves the release of energy through oxidative processes and the breakdown of complex molecules?
Citric acid cycle
What type of pathway involves the synthesis of larger compounds from smaller precursors and requires energy?
Anabolic pathway
Which of the following is an example of an indigestible polysaccharide present in dietary fiber?
Cellulose
Which enzyme is responsible for cleaving starch and glycogen in the mouth during the digestion of carbohydrates?
Salivary amylase
Anabolic pathways involve the breakdown of complex molecules and release energy
False
Which metabolic pathway serves as the link between anabolic and catabolic pathways?
Citric acid cycle
Salivary α-amylase cleaves starch and glycogen by breaking down α-1-4 linkages between glucose residues
True
The citric acid cycle is the final common pathway for carbohydrate metabolism
False
The citric acid cycle is an example of an amphibolic pathway
True
The synthesis of larger compounds from smaller precursors in anabolic pathways requires energy provided by breaking down ATP to ADP + Pi
True
Anabolic pathways involve the synthesis of larger (complex) compounds from smaller precursors and require the breakdown of ATP to ADP + Pi for energy
True
The citric acid cycle is an example of a purely catabolic pathway
False
Catabolic pathways involve the synthesis of larger compounds from smaller precursors and require energy provided by breaking down ATP to ADP + Pi
False
Dietary fiber includes small amounts of free glucose and fructose
False
The citric acid cycle serves as the link between anabolic and catabolic pathways in metabolism
True
Test your knowledge of metabolic pathways and the types of reactions that occur in the body, including anabolic and catabolic processes, energy requirements, and the synthesis and breakdown of complex molecules.
