Question

1. The following process (single step) can be considered:

1/2 O2 + H2 ----> H2O

Select one:

a. A catabolic biochemical pathway

b. An anabolic biochemical pathway

c. An exergonic process

d. An endergonic process

e. A + C

2. When one metabolite is converted to another in the cell by a series of consecutive enzyme-catalyzed reactions the process is referred to as:

Select one:

a. An endergonic process

b. A coupled biochemical process

c. Biochemical steady state

d. A biochemical pathway

e. ATP formation

3. If a biochemical pathway has a precursor, a product, and six intermediates, how many different enzymes will participate in its catalysis:

Select one:

a. 5

b. 6

c. 7

d. 8

e. 9

4. A reductant:

Select one:

a. Becomes oxidized

b. Gains electrons

c. Increases its negative charge

d. Gains energy

e. A and B

5. Biological oxidation processes involve:

Select one:

a. Complete transfer of electrons

b. Complete gain of electrons

c. Partial transfer of electrons

d. Partial gain of electrons

e. A and C

Explanation / Answer

The mentioned reaction can be categorised as exergonic reaction which is accompanied by release of energy. So option c is correct
