Sample questions

1. Which of the following statements about the universality of metabolic pathways is CORRECT?

a.Universality means that all organisms use the same set of enzymes for every metabolic reaction.

b.Core metabolic pathways are unique to each species and have no evolutionary link.

c.Universality implies that all metabolic reactions occur in the same cellular compartment in all organisms.

d.Core metabolic pathways are remarkably conserved across diverse organisms, suggesting a shared evolutionary origin.

2. The compartmentalization of metabolic processes within specific cellular organelles is important for all of the following EXCEPT:

a.Allowing precise regulation of metabolic reactions.

b.Increasing reaction rates by bringing reactants together.

c.Separating opposing metabolic reactions to prevent futile cycles.

d.Ensuring that catabolic and anabolic pathways for the same molecule are always in the same compartment.

3. A key characteristic of the interconnectedness of metabolic pathways is that:

a.Intermediates from one pathway can serve as substrates for another pathway.

b.Interconnectedness prevents any single pathway from being regulated.

c.Pathways are linked only through the final waste products they produce.

d.Each pathway operates in complete isolation from all others.

4. In a redox reaction occurring in a metabolic pathway, the molecule that gains electrons is said to be:

a.Reduced, and it often gains hydrogen atoms.

b.Reduced, and it often loses hydrogen atoms.

c.Oxidized, and it often loses hydrogen atoms.

d.Oxidized, and it often gains oxygen atoms.

5. The molecule NAD+ functions as an electron carrier in metabolism. When it accepts electrons, it is converted to:

a.NADH, which can then donate electrons in subsequent reactions.

b.NADP+, which is the oxidized form used in the pentose phosphate pathway.

c.NADPH, which is used primarily in anabolic reactions.

d.FADH2, which is a different electron carrier with a similar function.
