bioenergetic

Question 1

Gibbs free energy (∆G) equation

Answer 1

∆G°’ value is quantified as the difference in chemical bond energy (∆H) between the products and substrates of a reaction:

Question 2

positive vs negative ∆G

Answer 2

Question 3

The phosphoanhydride bonds that covalently link the phosphate groups together are high-energy bonds. When these bonds undergo hydrolysis (i.e., the cleavage of covalent bonds through the insertion of a water molecule), significant energy is released.

Answer 3

True

Question 4

two primary mechanisms in the cell to make ATP: substrate-level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation.

Answer 4

True
