Energy And Metabolism

Question 1

Catabolism definition

Answer 1

Breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones, generally releasing energy

Question 2

Anabolism

Answer 2

Synthesis of large molecules from smaller ones, generally absorbing energy

Question 3

Four stages of catabolism

Answer 3

Digestion,
formation of Acetyl CoA,
Citric Acid Cycle,
Electron Transfer Chain and Oxidative Phosphorylation

Question 4

Step one of glycolysis

Answer 4

Glucose to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate

Question 5

Step two of glycolysis

Answer 5

F-1,6-BP split into Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone, which is converted to G-3-BP

Question 6

Step three of glycolysis

Answer 6

ATP is generated when G-3-P is oxidised to pyruvate
