Bio 101 Module 3 Test Study Guide Rated A+

When electrons are transferred in a redox reaction, what is released? {Ans: energy is released}Catabolic {Ans: A process in which large molecules are broken down into simpler compounds (energy released)}Example of catabolic pathway {Ans: cellular respiration}What is metabolism? {Ans: the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life. It manages the material and energy resources of a living cell}How many CO2 molecules must enter the Calvin Cycle to make one sugar (G3P) molecule? {Ans: G3P contains 3 carbons, so it takes 3 CO2 molecules to have enough carbon to make one G3P.}2 types of chemical reactions {Ans: exergonic; endergonic}what does positive ΔG mean {Ans: not spontaneous, requires E (or zero)}What is the difference between a competitive and non-competitive inhibitor? {Ans: competitive inhibitor: similar to substrate shape noncompetitive inhibitor: bind to another part of the enzyme that affects the active site (allosteric site)}2 types of metabolic pathways {Ans: catabolic and anabolic}Which step in aerobic cellular respiration is most profitable for the cell? {Ans: Oxidative Phosphorylation is most profitable. It makes 26-28 ATP compared to the 2 ATP made in glycolysis and 2 made in the CAC.}What
