The image shows a hypothetical enzymatic pathway with four enzymes, labeled E1, E2, E3, and E4. The enzymes make products, labeled P0, P1, P2, P3, and P4. Which of the following statements is most likely to be true in the case of the feedback-regulated enzymatic pathway shown?

P4 binds E1 and deactivates it.

All ___ reactions proceeds with a net release of free energy.

exergonic

A chemical reaction that has a positive is correctly described as

endergonic

When chemical, transport, or mechanical work is done by an organism, what happens to the heat generated?

It is lost to the environment.

Reactants capable of interacting to form products in a chemical reaction must first overcome a thermodynamic barrier known as the reaction’s

activation energy.

A solution of starch at room temperature does not readily decompose to form a solution of simple sugars because

the activation energy barrier for this reaction cannot be surmounted.

During a laboratory experiment, you discover that an enzyme-catalyzed reaction has a of -20 kcal/mol. If you double the amount of enzyme in the reaction, what will be the for the new reaction?

-20 kcal/mol

___ increase the rate of chemical reaction by lowering activation energy barriers.

Enzymes

Succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of succinate to fumarate. The reaction is inhibited by malonic acid, which resembles succinate but cannot be acted upon by succinate dehydrogenase. Increasing the ratio of succinate to malonic acid reduces the inhibitory effect of malonic acid. What is the purpose of using malonic acid in this experiment?

It is a competitive inhibitor.

Which of the following terms best describes the reaction?

exergonic

Which of the following represents the activation energy required for the enzyme-catalyzed reaction?

b

In order to attach a particular amino acid to the tRNA molecule that will transport it, an enzyme, an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, is required, along with ATP. Initially, the enzyme has an active site for ATP and another for the amino acid, but it is not able to attach the tRNA. What must occur in order for the final attachment to occur?

The binding of the first two molecules must cause a 3-dimensional change that opens another active site on the enzyme.

How does a noncompetitive inhibitor decrease the rate of an enzyme reaction?

by changing the shape of an enzyme

A series of enzymes catalyze the reaction . Product binds to the enzyme that converts to at a position remote from its active site. This binding decreases the activity of the enzyme.
Substance functions as

an allosteric inhibitor.

Living organisms increase in complexity as they grow, resulting in a decrease in the entropy of an organism. How does this relate to the second law of thermodynamics?

As a consequence of growing, organisms create more disorder in their environment than the decrease in entropy associated with their growth.

A number of systems for pumping ions across membranes are powered by ATP. Such ATP-powered pumps are often called ATPases although they don’t often hydrolyze ATP unless they are simultaneously transporting ions. Because small increases in calcium ions in the cytosol can trigger a number of different intracellular reactions, cells keep the cytosolic calcium concentration quite low under normal conditions, using ATP-powered calcium pumps. For example, muscle cells also transport calcium from the cytosol into the membranous system called the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). If a resting muscle cell’s cytosol has a free calcium ion concentration of 10-7, while the concentration in the SR is 10-2, then how is the ATPase acting?

ATPase activity must be pumping calcium from the cytosol to the SR against the concentration gradient.
