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.

10. Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7. A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together. Once you are satisfied, staple or tape the amino acids in place and label the bond that you formed between the two R groups. - Polar covalent Bond - Red - Non polar Covalent boND- yellow - Ionic BonD - PINK Hydrogen Bonn - Purple Hydrophobic interaction-green O=C-N H I.

Find the dental formula and enter it in the following format: I3/3 C1/1 P4/4 M2/3 = 42 (this is not the correct number, just the correct format) Please be aware: the upper jaw is intact (all teeth are present). The bottom jaw/mandible is not intact. The front teeth should include 6 total rectangular teeth (3 on each side) and 2 total large triangular teeth (1 on each side).
