Microbiology - Problem Drill 05: Microbial Metabolism Question No. 1 of 10 Instruction: (1) Read the problem statement and answer choices carefully (2) Work the problems on paper as needed (3) Pick the answer (4) Go back to review the core concept tutorial as needed. Question 1. Anabolism is a metabolic process where ______ are turned into ____molecules. (A) (B) (C) (D) Complex, simple Simple, ATP Simple, ATP Simple, complex Question A. Incorrect! This would be for catabolism the opposite of anabolism. B. Incorrect! Anabolism often requires energy to assemble the larger more complex molecules. Since ATP is a form of generated energy this answer is incorrect. C. Incorrect! The process of anabolism is the process were simple molecules are metabolized into larger or complex molecules. This process usually requires the input of energy. Feedback D. Correct! Catabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules into smaller less complex molecules. The process typically generates energy. Anabolism can be thought of as synthesis of biomolecules. The synthesis of biomolecules comes from precursor smaller molecules (many of which have been created through the complementary process of catabolism) and requires energy input. Catabolism is the breakdown of molecules such as glucose, proteins and lipids. This breakdown product releases energy and creates precursors for use in the anabolic pathway.

Question 2. _____ is the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler molecules with the ______ of energy. (Choose the best answers below to fill in the blanks.) (A) (B) (C) (D) Anabolism, input Anabolism, release Catabolism, release Catabolism, input Question A. Incorrect! Anabolism is the assembly of complex molecules from simpler molecules. Anabolism usually requires the input of energy. B. Incorrect! Anabolism is the assembly of complex molecules from simpler molecules. Anabolism usually requires the input of energy. C. Correct! Catabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler molecules usually releasing energy. Feedback D. Incorrect! Catabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler molecules usually releasing energy not requiring it. In the study of metabolism it is useful to determine if a molecule is becoming more or less complex, i.e. the direction of the reaction. If the direction is toward lower complexity, as a generalization you can make an educated guess that energy will be released. The process of catabolism is associated with the breakdown of complex molecules. Question RapidLearningCenter.com © Rapid Learning Inc.

Question 3. Nutrient molecules with high energy electrons are _______ by catabolic reactions and the energy is stored in “high energy” bonds like ________. Question (A) (B) (C) (D) Hydrolyzed and DNA Oxidized and RNA Deaminated and amino acids Oxidized and ATP A. Incorrect! Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction when a molecule reacts with water. One reactant gets a hydroxyl –OH and the other a proton +H (not an election). B. Incorrect! This answer is partially correct, catabolic reactions do involve oxidation. However RNA is a stable molecule. In order to be a participant in the storage and or transfer of genetic information the bonds of RNA must be relatively stable so not high energy. C. Incorrect! Deamination is the removal of an amine group from an amino acid. This is a step in breaking down proteins to ultimately be used in Krebs cycle. However amino acids are not high energy molecules. Feedback D. Correct! Catabolism is the process of oxidation of nutrient or complex molecules leading to the creation and storage of energy in the form of high energy bonds. The most common high energy bond where energy is stored in the cell is in ATP.

Question 4. The breakdown of glucose to produce large amount of energy in the form of ATP is known as ______. (A) (B) (C) (D) Catabolism Redox Substrate level phosphorylation Respiration Question A. Incorrect! Catabolism is the breakdown of complex biomolecules to simple molecules. This is frequently accompanied by energy being produced. However the over all process is not referred to as catabolism. B. Incorrect! REDOX referees to the reduction and oxidation of a sample. Oxidation refers to the loss of an electron by a molecule. Reduction describes the gain of an electron by a molecule. C. Incorrect! Substrate level phosphorylation is the direct transfer of a phosphate from an organic molecule to ADP. Cells can do this in glycolysis and a small amount of ATP made in the Kreb's cycle is made this way. Feedback D. Correct! A series of metabolic processes that the living cell uses to produce energy. This is done through oxidation of organic molecules. Cellular respiration, weather prokaryote or eukaryote is a oxidative process. The chemical energy of organic molecules is releases in a series of organized steps. The steps are frequently accompanied by use of oxygen (in aerobic respiration) and the release of CO2 and H2O.

Question 5. Carbohydrates are the primary energy source for microbial metabolism typically in the form of glucose. Glucose is metabolized further via fermentation or cellular respiration. Before fermentation or cellular respiration occurs glucose first goes through the ____________. Question (A) (B) (C) (D) TCA cycle Glycolysis Kreb’s cycle Electron transport A. Incorrect! TCA cycle is also known as the Kreb’s cycle. It is a series of reactions involving he oxidative metabolism of biomolecules with the concurrent production of ATP. ATP serves as the main source of cellular energy. B. Correct! Glycolysis the metabolic pathway that occurs in almost all living cells. Glucose is changed in a series of steps to pyruvic acid which releases energy in the process. Glycolysis precedes the other pathways and is therefore the primary pathway. C. Incorrect! TCA cycle is also known as the Kreb’s cycle. It is a series of reactions involving he oxidative metabolism of biomolecules with the concurrent production of ATP. ATP serves as the main source of cellular energy. Feedback D. Incorrect! Electron transport chain or system is a series of oxidation-reduction reactions that result in an electron(s) creating the energy that is used in oxidative phosphorylation. The oxidative phosphorylation is used to make ATP. Energy carrying molecules of NADH and FADH2 give their electrons to coenzymes. The enzymes used in electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation are on the inner membrane of the bacteria. However the ETC of bacteria is high variable between species. Membrane invaginations form structures called: mesosomes , respiratory vesicles or lamellar vesicles. Question Note in the schematic the metabolic processes available including Krebs, TCA etc. all begin after glycolysis. RapidLearningCenter.com © Rapid Learning Inc.

Question 6. In the preparatory stage of glycolysis glucose is energized by adding _____ phosphate groups. Two molecules of ATP are _____ in this step resulting in two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate. compounds. Question (A) (B) (C) (D) 4 2 4 2 and and and and produced produced used used A. Incorrect! Clue is in the question. It states that “Two molecules of ATP” are involved. The most likely scenario then is that two phosphates are added. B. Incorrect! The question does state that two molecules of ATP are used in the preparatory step so the first half of this answer is correct. However remember that in the preparatory step ATP is used not produced. C. Incorrect! Clue is in the question. The question states that “Two molecules of ATP” are involved. The most likely scenario then is that two phosphates are added. In the preparatory step ATP is used not produced. Production of ATP will occur in the following steps Feedback D. Correct! The question does state that two molecules of ATP are used in the preparatory step so the answer 2 is correct. In the preparatory step ATP is used not produced. Production of ATP will occur in the following steps. Glycolysis has four main steps (although it has 10 distinct chemical reactions). These key events occur during glycolysis: 1. Preparatory stage, glucose is energized by adding two phosphate groups. Two molecules of ATP are used in this step and results in two, three-carbon compounds. 2. Substrate level phosphorylation makes 2 molecules of ATP from ADP. During the formation of the two phosphorylated 3-carbon molecules 4 molecules of ATP are made. This results in a net gain of 2 ATP per glucose. 3. For every glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecule a molecule of NAD+ is reduced to NADH. NADH can enter the electron transport system generating more ATP by oxidative phosphorylation. 4. Two molecules of pyruvate are made. Pyruvate may be fermented or enter the Krebs cycle depending on the bacterium. Question RapidLearningCenter.com © Rapid Learning Inc.
