Question 1

When heat dissipates into the environment,it is no longer usable by the individual who produced it.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 2

All of the energy that a plant stores in the bonds of glucose are available to an animal to power its muscles.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 3

We often say that we need food for energy.In a biological sense,is this correct?

Accepted Answer

A)  Yes,because the smallest units inside the atoms that make up the food are simply pure energy.
B)  Yes,because the food must move through the digestive system,and motion is kinetic energy.
C)  Yes,because the food we eat has potential energy in its structure and this chemical energy can be converted into mechanical energy.
D)  No,because food consists of matter and cannot be transformed into energy.
E)  No,since all food matter stays matter,and energy remains energy.F) C) and D)
G) B) and D)

Question 4

Since enzymes are not used up during a reaction,they do not play any role in the reaction.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 5

C)  energy.
D)  an enzyme.
E)  an enzyme-substrate complex. F) A) and C)
G) A) and B)

Question 6

Ultimately,humans get their energy from the sun.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 7

Which of the following statements most accurately describes the first law of thermodynamics?

Accepted Answer

A)  One usable form of energy cannot be completely converted into another usable form.
B)  One usable form of energy can be completely converted into another usable form.
C)  Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
D)  Energy can be neither created nor destroyed but it can be changed from one form to another.
E)  Energy cannot be transformed.F) A) and D)
G) B) and E)

Question 8

The reason an increase in substrate concentration will not increase the reaction rate indefinitely is because

Accepted Answer

A)  eventually the enzyme will no longer recognize the substrate.
B)  the active site will become saturated with substrate and the enzyme will not be able to go any faster.
C)  another enzyme will take advantage of the excess substrate and use it for a different reaction.
D)  enzymes cannot be used over and over in a reaction.
E)  the enzyme will become denatured.F) All of the above
G) C) and E)

Question 9

When a kinase adds phosphates to an enzyme,it will only activate the enzyme.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

What is a metabolic reaction called that involves one reaction releasing energy to provide energy for a second reaction that requires energy?

Accepted Answer

A)  an endergonic reaction
B)  an exergonic reaction
C)  a coupled reaction
D)  a reversible reaction
E)  anabolismF) A) and E)
G) A) and D)

Question 11

Which of the following statements is not true concerning enzymatic activity?

Accepted Answer

A)  Each enzyme has a preferred pH at which the enzyme reaction rate is highest.
B)  Above a certain temperature,an enzyme will become denatured.
C)  As the temperature increases,most enzymatic reactions will still proceed at the same rate.
D)  Enzymatic reactions proceed quite rapidly.
