Which of the following statements is most directly described by the first law of thermodynamics? A B с D The synthesis of highly-ordered biomolecules is coupled with the production of heat energy. All energy-transferring processes involve the loss of some of that energy into an unus- able form. Enzymes reduce the activation energy of chemical energy by stabilizing substrates at their transition states. The energy for the synthesis of glucose is provided by the absorption of light energy in chlorophyll pigments.

Which statement about the control of metabolism is true? In an amphibolic pathway, the regulated reaction can be reversible. Each metabolic pathway has unique reactions through which the whole pathway is controlled. Since metabolic pathways are interdependent, the regulated reactions can be identical between pathways. Biosynthetic and degradative pathways have nothing in common. O Only reversible reactions can be used to regulate the whole pathway.
You have a reaction that is very slow on its own, but is accelerated in the presence of an enzyme. Which of the listed effects would be brought about by an enzyme catalyzing this reaction? (Select all that apply) increased kcat increased Keq increased biochemical standard free energy change decreased activation energy
ATP is a source of free energy that drives unfavorable reactions. Which of the processes are coupled to the dephosphorylation of ATP? ion transport with the concentration gradient reversible isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate during glucose catabolism the endergonic reaction forming glucose-6-phosphate myosin action during muscle contraction de novo (from scratch) anabolism of nucleotides One reason that ATP is a source of energy is that the products of ATP hydrolysis have less free energy than the reactants. Why? formation of ion pairs involving ATP hydrogen bonding between free phosphate and water resonance stabilization of free phosphate electrostatic repulsion in ATP
Which of the following is NOT true about enzymes? Enzyme inhibitors interact reversibly or irreversibly with an enzyme to alter its Km and /or Vmax values. Enzymes typically act under milder conditions of temperature and pH than non-enzyme chemical catalysts. Zymogens are the inactive precursors of enzyme. Nucleophilic groups can catalyze reactions through the transient formation of covalent bonds with the substrate. Transition state stabilization can significantly increase the activation energy for a reaction.
Enzyme 3 (diagram) is involved in negative feedback inhibition. It binds ATP at an inhibitory allosteric enzyme site on phosphofructokinase. What reagents does phosphofructokinase take into its active site. What are the products of the reaction that phosphofructokinase mediates. What do you think the ΔG (free energy) of this reaction is positive or negative, endothermic vs exothermic? Explain your answer above ATP is the end-product of ETC (electron transport chain), and at high concentrations of ATP, phosphofructokinase is inhibited allosterically. Please note that ATP is required in the active site. How does this mechanism act as a regulator for the entire ATP production pathway in mitochondria?

Which of the following statements regarding enzyme catalysis is false? All options are false. Once formed, the transition state slowly proceeds to forming the product at a rate determined by cofactor binding The free energy of binding of the enzyme to the transition state is more favorable than the free energy of binding of the enzyme to the substrate The substrate and active site of the enzyme are solvated to promote enzyme-substrate interaction Once formed, the product dissociates from the enzyme after ATP hydrolysis in order to regenerate the active site
Which of the following describes the critical role that ATP plays in cellular metabolism? ATP serves an energy shuttle in the cell, coupling exergonic anf exergonic reactions. The terminal phosphate group of ATP is attached by a particular strong covalent bond that releases extra energy when broken. It is one of the four building blocks for RNA synthesis. Hydrolysis of ATP provides energy to drive exergonic reactions in the cell.
