D)the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1oC.
12
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, though it can be changed from one form to another. During the process of changing from one form to another,
A)some energy is lost as heat, and is no longer usable to perform work.
B)energy loses the ability to be changed back.
C)some energy is lost as heat, but is still available to do work.
D)some energy is gained as heat.
13
True or False: Energy cycles through living things.

14
Why is a molecule of ATP well-suited to serve as an energy donor and not an energy storage molecule?
A)ATP contains energy in its H-C bonds, whereas an energy storage molecule contains its energy in P-P bonds.
B)ATP is a stable molecule that is difficult to break down. An energy storage molecule is unstable, so that harvesting the energy is relatively easy.
C)ATP is an unstable molecule that readily breaks down at its P-P bonds to release energy. An energy storage molecule is stable, storing energy in its many H-C bonds.
D)ATP is an unstable molecule that readily breaks down at its C-H bonds to release energy. An energy storage molecule is stable, storing energy in its many P-P bonds.
15
ATP is used in endergonic reactions. This is because
A)these reactions have low energy of activation.
B)these reactions do not require energy to occur.
C)these reactions require an energy input to occur.
D)these reactions have high energy of activation.
16

A)endergonic; exergonic
B)inefficient; efficient
C)efficient; inefficient
D)exergonic; endergonic
17
An enzyme is usually a protein that functions as a catalyst. This means that enzymes
A)speed chemical reactions through their breakdown during the reaction.
B)speed chemical reactions without being affected by the reaction.
C)increase the energy of activation needed for a reaction to proceed.
D)are converted to substrate during a reaction.
18
Which of the following situations would negatively influence enzyme speed?

19
An enzyme inhibitor binds to the allosteric site of an enzyme. This is called __________ inhibition.
A)competitive
B)noncompetitive
C)reversible
D)permanent
20
The purpose of an enzyme inhibitor in a metabolic pathway is to decrease the activity of an enzyme once
A)the substrate concentration is too high and the enzyme cannot speed the reaction any further.
B)the enzyme gets close to running out.
C)a reaction has produced sufficient product and a cell needs to conserve raw materials and energy.
D)an enzyme’s shape has been altered so that is unable to combine efficiently with its substrate.
