1. Which of the following is/are considered to be an anabolic reaction? Select all that apply.
- a. Krebs cycle
- b. polypeptide synthesis
- c. cell assembly
- d. glycolysis
Introduction:
Anabolism is often referred to as biosynthesis. The term biosynthesis explains the formation of the molecules or the cellular structure. Energy is used in the formation of larger molecules from the smaller molecules.
Answer to Problem 1NP
Correct answer:
Polypeptide synthesis and cell assembly undergo anabolic reactions. Therefore, option (b) and (c) are correct.
Option (b) is given as “polypeptide synthesis”.
Option (c) is given as “cell assembly”.
Explanation of Solution
Justify the reasons for the correct statement:
Anabolism is the construction of a large molecule from its smaller unit molecules, polypeptides are the polymers of amino acids. Cell assembly is the group of neurons which is associated with a particular concept. With every new perception, a new nerve cell is generated.
Hence, options(b) and (c) arecorrect.
Justify the reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as “Krebs cycle”.
Krebs cycle is not an anabolic pathway because the intermediates of the cycles are notpolymers; they are obtained from the conversion of the substrate or by the removal of a group or attachment of a group. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (d) is given as “Glycolysis”.
Glycolysis is a one-way catabolic chain reaction. Intermediates are not polymers of the substrates; they originate due to rearrangements of the functional groups or addition of some other groups. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a) and(d) are incorrect.
Polypeptide synthesis and cell assembly are the examples of anabolic reactions because the formation of these molecules and cells involve the input of monomers. Krebs cycle and glycolysis are the examples of catabolic reactions.

A DNA molecule has a double helix at one end of the molecule and a single helix at the other end of the molecule. _9. Complementary bases are held together by covalent bonds. 10. DNA molecules always contain the nitrogenous base thymine.arrow_forwardChoose correct option. Question 6:- Why are DNA mutations usually very detrimental to the final protein product? a. Because the number of peptide bonds will decrease dramatically. b. Because the active site will become a catalyst as a result of DNA mutations, which can be detrimental to the cell. c. Because the protein may lose functionality (literal shape change) as a result of a DNA sequence change. d. Because the protein could no longer work in warm conditions as a result of DNA changes.arrow_forward
- IDENTIFICATION: 1.In this model, the substrate still needs to fit into the enzyme like a key, but instead of simply fitting into the "keyhole," some type of modification is induced in the substrate, enzyme, or both. 2.Creatinine Kinase found in skeletal and heart muscle 3.Creatinine Kinase found in heart muscle 4.Creatinine Kinase found in the brain 5. To overcome an energy barrier between reactants and products, energy must be provided to get the reaction started. This energy, which is recovered as the reaction proceeds, is called: A. Potential energy B. Initiation energy C. Reaction energy D. Activation energy 6. The active site of the enzyme and substrate have complementary structures, hence they fit together as a key fits a lock. 7. TRUE or FALSE. Increase concentration of substrate, Increase enzyme action. 8. TRUE or FALSE. Decrease concentration of enzyme, Increase enzyme action.arrow_forwardBIOMOLECULES Please answer the questions properly. - Multiple choice Qyestion 1: If a cell has an adequate supply of adenine nucleotides but requires more guanine nucleotides for protein synthesis: 1.
