Questions and Answers

1.

What is problem-solving?
- A.
  
  Getting an issue under control
- B.
  
  Meeting a need
- C.
  
  The use of facts and skills to solve a problem.
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
C. The use of facts and skills to solve a problem.

Explanation
Problem-solving refers to the process of finding solutions to challenges or issues. It involves the application of knowledge, facts, and skills to identify and analyze the problem, generate possible solutions, and choose the most effective one. This answer accurately describes problem-solving as the utilization of facts and skills to solve a problem, distinguishing it from the other options that do not encompass the essential elements of problem-solving.

What joins Amino acid?
- A.
  
  A sticky diarn
- B.
  
  Peptide bonds
- C.
  
  Glue
- D.
  
  Bonding
Correct Answer
B. Peptide bonds

Explanation
Peptide bonds join amino acids together. These bonds form between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid, resulting in the formation of a peptide chain. This process is known as condensation or dehydration synthesis, where a water molecule is released as a byproduct. Peptide bonds are crucial for the formation of proteins, as they determine the primary structure of the protein molecule.

3.

Which of these is not a stage of protein synthesis?
- A.
  
  Initiation
- B.
  
  Elongation
- C.
  
  Termination
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
D. None of the above

Explanation
The question asks for a stage that is not a part of protein synthesis. The options provided are "Initiation," "Elongation," "Termination," and "None of the above." The correct answer is "None of the above" because all three options, "Initiation," "Elongation," and "Termination," are stages of protein synthesis. Therefore, the correct answer implies that there is no stage missing from the process of protein synthesis.

4.

Which is true about metabolism?
- A.
  
  It can be quantified
- B.
  
  It causes stress
- C.
  
  Energy is derived from it
- D.
  
  I don't know
Correct Answer
C. Energy is derived from it

Explanation
Metabolism is the process by which the body converts food and drinks into energy. It involves various chemical reactions that break down nutrients and produce energy for the body's functions. Therefore, it is true that energy is derived from metabolism.

What does exergonic generate?
- A.
  
  Power
- B.
  
  Stress
- C.
  
  Energy
- D.
  
  Speed
Correct Answer
C. Energy

Explanation
Exergonic refers to a chemical reaction that releases energy. Therefore, it can be inferred that exergonic generates energy.

6.

Which is a principle of metabolic pathways?
- A.
  
  It is ductile
- B.
  
  It is magnetic
- C.
  
  It consist of poles
- D.
  
  The other reactions are near equilibrium
Correct Answer
D. The other reactions are near equilibrium

Explanation
The principle of metabolic pathways states that the other reactions in the pathway are near equilibrium. This means that the rate of the forward reaction is approximately equal to the rate of the reverse reaction, resulting in a dynamic balance. This principle allows for efficient regulation and control of metabolic processes, as it ensures that the intermediates and products of the pathway are maintained at appropriate levels. By operating near equilibrium, metabolic pathways can respond quickly to changes in cellular conditions and maintain homeostasis.

7.

What is the function of ATP?
- A.
  
  It produces inorganic phosphate
- B.
  
  It helps patients sleep
- C.
  
  It increases appetite
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
A. It produces inorganic pHospHate

Explanation
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is a molecule that serves as the primary energy source for cellular processes. It is produced through cellular respiration, specifically during the process of oxidative phosphorylation. During this process, ATP is generated by transferring a phosphate group from a high-energy molecule to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate), forming ATP. Therefore, the correct answer is that ATP produces inorganic phosphate.

8.

What determines the result of anabolic reaction?
- A.
  
  The plugs
- B.
  
  The power supply
- C.
  
  Energy charge
- D.
  
  Power charge
Correct Answer
C. Energy charge

Explanation
The result of anabolic reactions is determined by the energy charge. Anabolic reactions are metabolic processes that build complex molecules from simpler ones, requiring energy input. The energy charge refers to the ratio of high-energy compounds, such as ATP, to low-energy compounds, such as ADP and AMP, within a cell. A high energy charge indicates that the cell has sufficient energy available for anabolic reactions to occur, while a low energy charge suggests that energy is limited and anabolic processes may be inhibited. Therefore, the energy charge plays a crucial role in determining the outcome of anabolic reactions.

9.

Which of these is a pathway in ATP?
- A.
  
  Psychosis
- B.
  
  Glycloysis
- C.
  
  All of the above
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Psychosis
10.

Which of these is not a source of reduced coenzyme?
- A.
  
  Carbs
- B.
  
  Water
- C.
  
  Protein
- D.
  
  Fats
Correct Answer
B. Water

Explanation
Water is not a source of reduced coenzyme because it does not contain any coenzyme molecules or components that can be reduced. Coenzymes are typically derived from vitamins and are involved in various metabolic reactions in the body. Carbs, protein, and fats can all serve as sources of reduced coenzyme because they contain molecules that can be reduced and participate in metabolic processes.
