Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.

Multiple choice
  1. Digestion

  2. Photosynthesis

  3. Excretion

  4. Respiration

B Correct answer
Explanation

  Anabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units. These reactions require energy.

Multiple choice
  1. CoA

  2. DNA

  3. NAD+

  4. ATP

C Correct answer
Explanation

NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) acts as a coenzyme that functions as a hydrogen acceptor in metabolic redox reactions, becoming NADH in the process.

Multiple choice
  1. time resolved crystallography

  2. X-ray crystallography

  3. racemic crystallography

  4. electron crystallography

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Time resolved crystallography utilizes X-ray crystallography imaging to visualize reactions in four dimensions (x, y, z and time). This enables the studies of dynamical changes that occur in. For example, enzymes during their catalysis. The time dimension is incorporated by triggering the reaction of interest in the crystal prior to X-ray exposure, and then collecting the diffraction patterns at different time delays.
