Which of the following statements describes a common characteristic of catabolic pathways?

Chemistry

Answer:

C. They are exergonic and provide energy that can be used to produce ATP form ADP and Pi.

Explanation:

There are 2 types of metabolic reactions.

  1. Anabolic reactions (Anabolism)
  2. Catabolic reactions (Catabolism)

CATABOLIC REACTIONS:

They consist of reactions in which larger molecules are broken down into simpler ones. They are exergonic i.e. energy producing reactions. The released energy can be stored in the form of ATP (energy currency of cell).

ANABOLIC REACTIONS:

They consist of reactions in which larger molecules are synthesized from simpler ones. They are endergonic reactions i.e. energy is absorbed.

MEMORY AID:

An easy way to remember catabolic reactions is to think of them as "catastrophic reactions" i.e. larger molecules are destructed to produce simpler ones.

Coming back to the question,

<u>a. They require energy from ATP hydrolysis to break down polymers into monomers. </u>

Energy requiring reactions are anabolic and so this is the incorrect answer.

<u>b. They are endergonic and release energy that can be used for cellular work.</u>

Endergonic reactions are anabolic and hence this is the incorrect answer.

<u>c. They are exergonic and provide energy that can be used to produce ATP from ADP and Pi</u>

This statement correctly fits the definition of Catabolic reactions and is therefore the correct answer.

<u>d. They combine small molecules into larger, more energy-rich molecules.</u>

This statement describes anabolic reactions and hence the incorrect choice.

Why do covalent bonds form between elements with similar electronegativity?
sesenic [268]

A COVALENT BOND, FORMS BETWEEN ELEMENTS WITH SIMILAR  ELECTRONEGATIVITY AS SHARING OF ELECTRON PAIRS BETWEEN ATOMS IS EASIER AS THEY ARE IDENTICAL.

Explanation:

Bonding atoms with similar electronegativity values form covalent bonds.

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Covalent bonds form between two nonmetal atoms with identical or relatively close electronegativity values

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, also it is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself.

Pure covalent bonds result when two atoms of the same electronegativity bond. This occurs only when two atoms of the same element bond with each other.

prisoha [69]

Answer: d. has high activation energy

Activation energy is the energy that a system requires to start a certain process. Also, it <u>is the minimum energy necessary for a given chemical reaction to occur</u>. For a reaction to occur between two molecules, they must collide in the correct orientation and have a minimum amount of energy equal to the activation energy.

As the molecules approach, their electron clouds repel, so energy is required for the collision to occur and therefore the reaction. The activation energy comes from the heat of the system, that is, the translational, vibrational energy, etc. of each molecule. However, if this energy is not enough, the reaction will not be spontaneous.

<u>A reaction between two molecules can be favored by supplying energy to the system.</u> In the case raised in the question, <u>energy equal to 1104 kJ is provided to the system to favor the next reaction </u>

CO2 (g) + 2SO2 (g) → CS2 (g) + 3O2 (g)

<u>Since the energy equal to 1104 kJ is included in the reactants, it can be deduced that it is the energy that is provided to the system for the reaction to occur. </u>However, from the value of this energy it can not be said whether the system is endothermic or exothermic since it is a kinetic variable and the variables of this type do not allow predicting the thermodynamic behavior of a system.

Furthermore, it can be seen that the value of this energy is considerably high, therefore the reaction described has a high activation energy.
