Chapter 6, Problem 3CQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason that recycling of amino acids and
Introduction: Recycling of amino acids and nucleotides is a very important process. This process of recycling allows the cell to recreate or synthesize the essential proteins and genetic material of the cell.

Set-up: A cell is able to extract energy from the molecule glucose after it breaks it's C-C and C-H bonds and replaces them with C=O and O-H bonds in CO2 and H20 in
order to power unfavorable reactions.
Questions: In a few brief sentences describe why cells can gain energy from this process.
A successful answer should include the following:
1. How the action of breaking bonds relates to energy
2. How forming bonds relates to energy
3. Why some of these bonds store more energy to others
Which of the following describe energy unavailable to do cellular work?
Group of answer choices
Gibbs Free Energy
Entropy
Enthalpy
delta G
An energy carrier, unlike an energy molecule,
is rather difficult to produce due to their odd structures.
is very unstable and thus do not exist for long outside of the cell.
runs out of energy too quickly to be useful.
just moves high-energy electrons to another source.
