Objectives: Outline the role played by ATP in powering cellular activity.
Describe the mechanism of ATP formation.
Outline the importance of redox reactions in cellular energy generation.
Outline the role of NADH in energy transfer.
The cell needs energy to do [blank_start]work[blank_end]. [blank_start]Energy coupling[blank_end] allows exergonic processes (which [blank_start]release[blank_end] energy) to be coupled with endergonic processes (which [blank_start]absorb[blank_end] energy) so that every necessary process is facilitated.
Answer
work
Energy coupling
release
absorb
Question 2
Question
Which process is ATP NOT involved in?
Answer
Neurotransmission
RNA synthesis
Transport
Cell linking
Question 3
Question
Select the equation which BEST outlines the exergonic process of ATP hydrolysis.
Answer
ATP → ADP + Phosphate group + Energy
ATP → ADP + PO3 + ATP
ADP + Phosphate group + Energy → ATP
ADP → ATP
Question 4
Question
ATP hydrolysis does not change the energy of a system, but rather creates free energy for another process.
Answer
True
False
Question 5
Question
ATP phosphorylates molecules which would not normally react and allows endergonic processes to occur.
Answer
True
False
Question 6
Question
ATP hydrolysis cools the surrounding environment.
Answer
True
False
Question 7
Question
ATP is recyclable.
Answer
True
False
Question 8
Question
Which statement about the ATP cycle is CORRECT?
Answer
ATP hydrolysis forms ADP and a phosphate group, as well as producing free energy for endergonic processes
ATP will readily reform from ADP and a phosphate group while free floating in the cytoplasm.
Question 9
Question
Fermentation is a [blank_start]catabolic[blank_end] process to attain chemical energy from food [blank_start]anaerobically[blank_end].
Cellular respiration is a catabolic process to attain [blank_start]chemical energy[blank_end] from food [blank_start]aerobically[blank_end], mainly from [blank_start]glucose[blank_end] in starch and carbohydrates.
Answer
catabolic
anabolic
chemical energy
mechanical energy
aerobically
anaerobically
glucose
Question 10
Question
Which of the following statements about cellular respiration is CORRECT?
Answer
Cellular respiration harvests energy from C-H bonds by transferring the electrons to O2.
Cellular respiration harvests energy from C-H bonds and transfers the electrons to O2.
Cellular respiration harvests energy from C-H bonds by transferring the electrons to an electron carrier like NAD.
Question 11
Question
Cellular respiration releases a large amount of energy in a process similar to simple combustion.
Answer
True
False
Question 12
Question
Cellular respiration harvests usable energy in a series of controlled steps.
