Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Metabolism is the sum total of all the chemical reactions that occur in a cell.

Answer to Problem 1TYU

Correct answer:

Catabolism is to anabolism as exergonic is to endergonic. Therefore, option (B) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

Metabolism can be of two types, catabolism or anabolism. The catabolism involves the breakdown of large molecules into smaller molecules. On the other hand, the anabolism involves the synthesis of complex molecules from smaller molecules.

The catabolism is an exergonic process as heat is released during this process while anabolism is an endergonic process as heat is required from outside during this process. Therefore, exergonic is related to endergonic in a similar way as catabolism is related to anabolism.

Option (B) is given as “exergonic; endergonic”.

“Catabolism is to anabolism as exergonic is to endergonic”, it is right answer.

Hence, the option (B) is correct.

Reason for the incorrect statements:

Option (A) is given as “exergonic; spontaneous”.

As, exergonic is opposite of endergonic and not to spontaneous, just like catabolism is to anabolism, so it is a wrong answer.

Option (C) is given as “free energy; entropy”.

As free energy is not opposite of entropy as catabolism is to anabolism, so it is a wrong answer.

Option (D) is given as “work; energy”.

As work is not opposite of energy as catabolism is to anabolism, so it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect.

Conclusion

Catabolism involves release of energy while anabolism involves intake of energy.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours.
