Metabolic pathways (a) always break down large molecules into smaller units. (b) only link smaller molecules together to create polymers. (c) are often organized as a multistep sequence of reactions. (d) occur only in mitochondria.
Enzymes (a) speed up reactions that would otherwise occur much more slowly. (b) spur reactions that would otherwise never occur. (c) provide energy for anabolic but not catabolic pathways. (d) are consumed during the reactions they catalyze.
Cells use primarily two ways of storing potential energy: 1) as concentration gradients and 2) in molecules. A) Explain how energy can be stored in these two forms and how it can be used to do other work. B) Propose an analogy that can explain each of these forms of energy storage using everyday items.
