Question 5
In order to convert proteins into amino acids which metabolic process
would be active?
Your Answer:
In order to convert proteins into amino acids, catabolism would be
active because it will break the proteins into the amino acids.
Catabolism would be active as proteins are made up of
amino acids. Therefore the process described (proteins into
amino acids) is the breakdown, or catabolism of protein.

Question 6
Describe the energy transfer process relative to both ATP and ADP.
Your Answer:
The energy transfer process relative to both ATP and ADP is that ATP
has energy (phosphate) to donate, while ADP can accept energy
(phosphate group) to become ATP.
ATP has the energy (phosphate group) to donate while ADP
can accept energy in the form of a phosphate group. Thus,
ATP can be reduced (ATP ADP + Pi) while ADP can be
built into ATP (ADP + Pi ATP).
