1. Are proteins, ATP, enzymes, or ribozymes responsible for doing work in the cell?
2. During fasting, what is the major source of energy? Glucose, lipids, water or protein.
3. Can glycolysis run in reverse?
4. Which of the four those base pairing involves, phosphodiester bonds, peptide bonds, glycosidic bonds, or hydrogen bonds?
5. What is the major role of DNA, generate ATP, synthesize proteins, fill the nucleus, or determine cell fate?
1. ATP molecules are responsible for doing work in the cell. When they hydrolysed they release 7.3 kcal/mol energy which is utilised by the cell for doing a particular work.
2. At the time of fasting, lipids are the major source of energy because they are stored in our body for future use.
3. Glycolysis can run in reverse to produce glucose which is known as gluconeogenesis.
4. Hydrogen bonds are involved in base pairing. There are two hydrogen bonds between A and T and three hydrogen bonds between G and C.
5. The major role of DNA is protein synthesis. Some parts of the DNA are known as genes. Genes are transcribed into mRNA and mRNA is translated into protein. Proteins are responsible for determining the character of an organism.
