Answer 1

1. Enzymes are totally consumed in a chemical reaction.----False

Explanation:

Enzymes act just as catalysts but not consumed in any chemical reaction.

2. Glucose is a universal food molecule for most organisms.--- True

3. Anabolic reactions release energy.---False

Explanation: Catabolic reaction release energy but anabolic reaction utilizes energy.

4. Endomthermic reactions release energy.---False

Explanation: Ectothermic reactions release energy but endothermic reactions utilizes energy.

5. Catabolic reactions result in the formation of complex molecules.---False

Explanation:

Catabolic reactions results in the formation of small molecules from complex molecules. Catabolism means that the breakdown of complex molecules into simple molecules.

6. Starch is used as a building block of complex molecules by microbes.---False

7. Phospholipids are a major food molecule to produce energy.---False

8. An enzyme accelerates the chemical transformation of specific substrates.---True
