1. In the following reaction, which of the following is an example of a substrate? Lactase
Lactose → Glucose + Galactose
a. Lactose

a. The first law of thermodynamics
3. Which would be an example of catalyst in action?
a. A protein converting glucose and fructose into sucrose without being changed itself
4. Which of the following describes a transition state molecule?
a. The distorted shape the substrate takes when being converted by an enzyme into product

a. Food we eat
7. Which of the following types of food can be oxidized by aerobic respiration?
a. Glucose, fats and proteins
8. Which of the following statements is true of aerobic respiration?
a. Glucose, fats, and proteins can be oxidized by aerobic respiration
9. In what way are the essential amino acids different from nonessential amino acids?
a. Essential amino acids cannot be made and must be obtained from food.
