Which is not accurate when describing the characteristics of metabolic pathways:
a. they are irreversible (exergonic) b. every one has a first committed step c. catabolic and anabolic pathways differ d. Metabolic pathways are regulated e. Pathways in eukaryotic cells occur in specific cellular compartments f. all of these are true |
f.
|
|
Catabolism: energy-__________
Anabolism: enerty-__________ |
yielding; requiring
|
|
Catabolic pathways converge to ________ end products
|
a few
|
|
Anabolic pathways diverge to synthesize _________________
|
many biomolecules
|
|
Some metabolic pathways serve both in catabolism and anabolism. These are ___________.
|
amphibolic
|
|
Energy-requiring cellular activities are powered by _____________.
|
ATP hydrolysis
|
|
Catabolism is ____________ - substrates lose reducing equivalents (e-s), usually H:- ions. ___________ collects electrons released in catabolism.
|
oxidative ; NAD+
|
|
Anabolism is ____________. ____________ provides the reducing power (electrons) for anabolic processes
|
reductive ; NADPH
|
|
Which end is fully reduced? Fully oxidized?
|
left; right
H is least electronegative element, so e-s in that bond are closest to the nucleus of C atom; O is highly electronegative. Fully oxidized C has the LEAST energy. |
|
1. Usually the quickest method of influencing an enzymatic activity is by:

2. The transition state has an estimated life-time of about:
A) microseconds (10-6 s). B) nanoseconds (10-9 s). C) (10-2 s).D) (10-14 to 10-13 s). E) milliseconds (10-3 s). |
D
|
|
3. The good transition state analog is one which would serve also as an effective:
A) competitive inhibitor. B) noncompetitive inhibitor. C) allosteric inhibitor. D) mixed-noncompetitive inhibitor. E) irreversible inhibitor. |
A
|
|
4. Organic fluorophosphates are ______________ inhibitors of serine proteases such as chymotrypsin, etc.
A) competitive B) uncompetitive C) noncompetitive D) irreversible E) mixed noncompetitive |
D
