1.What does ΔG of a metabolic reaction measure?
the net change in free energy during a reaction
the amount of heat energy gained or lost in a reaction
the amount of matter transferred in a reaction
the change in activation energy required in a reaction due to enzyme activity
the activation energy of a reaction
2.
Which of the following does a catalyst change during a chemical reaction?
the free energy of the products
heat
entropy
activation energy
the free energy of the reactants
3.
ATP is not the only molecule that can drive reactions. When ATP is depleted during exercise, muscle cells use phosphocreatine to drive the regeneration of ATP.

Consider the following half reactions:

1. ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi

ΔG = -7.3 kcal/mol

2. Phosphocreatine + H2O → creatine + Pi

ΔG = -10.3 kcal/mol

From these two reactions, calculate the Gibbs free energy of the following coupled reaction, catalyzed by creatine kinase:

Phosphocreatine + ADP → ATP + creatine

ΔG = ?

Which is the correct net Gibbs free energy of the reaction?

ΔG = -3 kcal/mol
ΔG = -17.6 kcal/mol
ΔG = 0 kcal/mol
ΔG = +3 kcal/mol
ΔG = +17.6 kcal/mol
4.
Which source of energy does active transport use?

The sodium-potassium pump is an active transport pump that uses energy to pump potassium into cells and sodium out of cells. Why is ATP energy required?

to pump the Na+ and K+ ions along their diffusion gradient
to pump the Na+ and K+ ions against their diffusion gradient
for the membrane to change shape
7.
Which definition best describes a cell's metabolism?
