Resource summary

Question 1

Question
What is catabolism?
Answer
  • Metabolic pathways that break down molecules into smaller molecules to generate ATP and NADH
  • Metabolic pathways that synthesise complex molecules from simpler ones using ATP, GTP and UTP

Question 2

Question
What is anabolism?
Answer
  • Metabolic pathways that synthesise complex molecules from simpler ones using ATP, GTP and UTP
  • Metabolic pathways that break down complex molecules into simpler ones to generate ATP and NADH

Question 3

Question
At what range of pH is ATP chemically stable?
Answer
  • 6-9
  • 7-9
  • 5-7
  • 3-7

Question 4

Question
By what factor does ATP shift the equilibria of coupled reactions?
Answer
  • 10^8
  • 10^10
  • 10^12
  • 10^14

Question 5

Question
What type of bond occurs between ribose and the first phosphate in ATP?
Answer
  • Ester

  • Amide

Question 6

Question
What type of bond occurs between adjacent phosphates in ATP?
Answer
  • Phosphoanhydride
  • Ester
  • Amide
  • Disulfide

Question 7

Question
What is a cofactor?
Answer
  • A non-protein chemical compound required for a protein's biological activity
  • A competitive inhibitor of an enzyme
  • A non-competitive inhibitor of an enzyme
  • An enzyme that catalyses covalent modification of enzymes to activate or deactivate them

Question 8

[blank_start]GTP[blank_end] drives synthesis of proteins. [blank_start]CTP[blank_end] drives synthesis of lipids.
Answer
  • ATP
