Question 1

Which of the following best describes the difference between anabolic and catabolic reactions in metabolism?

Accepted Answer

Anabolic reactions build complex molecules from simpler ones, while catabolic reactions break down large molecules into smaller ones.

Question 2

Which molecule is directly hydrolyzed to provide energy for cellular activities?

Accepted Answer

ATP

Question 3

Which of the following is the correct sequence of the three stages of catabolism?

Accepted Answer

Digestion, Production of acetyl-CoA, Complete oxidation in the Krebs cycle

Question 4

Where does the digestion of proteins begin in the human body?

Accepted Answer

Stomach

Question 5

Which of the following is the first step in the digestion of carbohydrates, triacylglycerols, and proteins?

Accepted Answer

Hydrolysis

Question 6

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Accepted Answer

To generate ATP for cellular energy needs

Question 7

Which of the following correctly matches the major steps of cellular respiration with their cellular locations?

Accepted Answer

Glycolysis (cytoplasm), Krebs cycle (mitochondrial matrix), Electron transport chain (inner mitochondrial membrane)

Question 8

During glycolysis, which molecule enters the pathway and which molecule is produced at the end?

Accepted Answer

Glucose enters, pyruvate is produced

Question 9

Which process is the major anaerobic pathway for energy production in cells?

Accepted Answer

Glycolysis

Question 10

In muscle cells under anaerobic conditions, which product is formed from pyruvate?

Accepted Answer

Question 11

Which of the following is NOT a name for the Krebs cycle?

Accepted Answer

Urea cycle

Question 12

Which statement best describes the chemiosmotic model of oxidative phosphorylation?

Accepted Answer

A proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane drives ATP synthesis.

Question 13

How many net ATP molecules are produced from one molecule of glucose during glycolysis?

Accepted Answer

$$2$$

Question 14

Which pathway is the major aerobic process for ATP production during cellular respiration?

Accepted Answer

Electron transport chain

Question 15

A patient is unable to efficiently digest triacylglycerols. Which stage of metabolism is most directly affected?

Accepted Answer

Hydrolysis during digestion

Question 17

If a poison blocks the electron transport chain, what is the most immediate effect on cellular energy production?

Accepted Answer

ATP production from oxidative phosphorylation stops.

Question 18

Which of the following is a product of the complete digestion of proteins?

Accepted Answer

Amino acids

Question 19

Accepted Answer

Fermentation

Question 20

Which of the following best explains why hydrolysis is important in the digestion of macronutrients?

Accepted Answer

It adds water to break large molecules into smaller, absorbable units.
