HW - 4/26/12

Tonight's homework is to complete and get ready to submit the Enzymes in Action lab report and prepare for the weekly check-in.


Answer all of the following questions. For multiple choice questions, circle your answers and write the number of the choice to the left of the question.

1.  In which process do organisms transfer the chemical energy in sugar molecules to ATP molecules?

(1)  excretion                                                            (3)  autotrophic nutrition
(2)  cellular respiration                                             (4)  photosynthesis

2.  Which statement best describes one of the events taking place in the chemical reaction represented below?

            enzymes
       ATP  --> ADP + P + energy

(1) Energy is being stored as a result of cellular respiration.
(2) Energy is being released for metabolic processes.
(3) Decomposition is taking place, resulting in the synthesis of ATP.
(4) Photosynthesis is taking place, resulting in the storage of energy.

3. Describe what happens during glycolysis.

4. During respiration, the energy within the bonds of a glucose molecule is released in small amounts in a step-by-step, enzyme-controlled reaction.  In this process, the energy released is used to

(1) synthesize ATP                                                (3) synthesize more glucose
(2) control the process of diffusion                        (4) produce oxygen molecules

5. The energy an organism requires to transport materials and eliminate wastes is obtained directly from 

(1) DNA                                                                     (3) hormones
(2) starch                                                                    (4) ATP

6. Do plants carry out cellular respiration?  Explain your answer.

7. State the complete and correct equation for cellular respiration.
