A cell uses ATP to carry energy, which is released as needed to drive chemical reactions and work. A mutation is found that prevents #2 but not #1. Which of the following is the best hypothesis for which protein is mutated? ATP cannot be synthesized from ADP and Pἰ due to a mutation in ATP synthase. Covalently bound Pἰ cannot be removed from molecules due to a mutation in phosphatase. Non-covalently bound ATP cannot be split into ADP and Pἰ due to a mutation in ATP hydrolase. ATP cannot bind covalently to molecules and split into a bound Pἰ and free-floating ADP due to a mutation in a kinase.

Which of the following statements is false concerning the ‘tight binding site’ of ATP Synthase within the natural environment of the mitochondria? Group of answer choices ATP is released from the tight binding site This is a binding site found within an αβ subunits of the F1 portion of ATP Synthase The tight binding forces the reaction of ADP + Pi → ATP The tight binding site has the lowest KM for ATP
Which of the following describes the critical role that ATP plays in cellular metabolism? ATP serves an energy shuttle in the cell, coupling exergonic anf exergonic reactions. The terminal phosphate group of ATP is attached by a particular strong covalent bond that releases extra energy when broken. It is one of the four building blocks for RNA synthesis. Hydrolysis of ATP provides energy to drive exergonic reactions in the cell.
Which of the following statements is not true? Metabolic pathways _____. a. occur in a stepwise series of chemical reactions b. are speeded up by enzymes c. may break down or assemble molecules d. always produce energy (such as ATP)
Which of the following regulatory methods could never increase enzyme activity? phosphate removal by a phosphatase phosphate addition by a kinase allosteric regulation negative feedback positive feedback
For each of the following sentences, fill in the blanks with the best word or phrase selected from the list below. Not all words or phrases will be used; each word or phrase may be used more than once. ADP FADH2 H+ moderately protons ATP favorable higher NADH severely cytosol glucose lower NAD+ slightly electrons GTP matrix Pi unfavorable High-energy electrons are transferred through a series of molecules, and the energy released during these transfers is used to generate a gradient of , or . Because their concentration is outside than inside the mitochondria, the flow of , or , down the concentration gradient is energetically very and can thus be coupled to the production of ATP from ADP. Thus, oxidative phosphorylation refers to the…

Enzymes are needed to carry out only endergonic reactions. C. Enzymes are needed in the cell to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. D. Enzymes eliminate the activation barrier.
Cells can make ATP through aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, or fermentation. Which of the following pathways do all three forms of cellular catabolism share? breaking down pyruvate into CO2 through a series of steps reducing pyruvate into lactic acid or acetaldehyde to regenerate NAD+ breaking down a molecule of glucose or other organic fuel into two molecules of pyruvate passing electrons through a chain of proteins to an electronegative molecule to oxidize NADH
The metamorphosis of a tadpole to an adult frog involves a thorough reconstruction of the animal's body. All of the structural and physiological changes must be complete or the frog will not survive this transformation.

Which of the following serves as an important energy carrier in cells? A. RNA B. DNA C. ATP
A common metabolic strategy is the lack of reactivity—that is, the slowness to react— of compounds whose breakdown is exergonic. For example, hydrolysis of ATP to ADP or adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is exergonic but does not take place without an appropriate enzyme present. Why would the cell use this metabolic strategy?
