Answer 1

1. C
2. C (I think)
3. A
4. B
5. A

Answer 2

Answer 1:

(C) Metabolism

Metabolism is the collection of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms. The three chief objectives of metabolism are the conversion of food/fuel to energy to run cellular systems, the conversion of food/fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates, and the removal of nitrogenous wastes.

Answer 2:

(A) splits glucose into two molecules of pyruvate.

Glycolysis is a word used to define the metabolic pathway involving the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate and energy used to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). The pathway occurs in nearly all organisms and is self-sufficient of oxygen, although the outcomes of glycolysis are sometimes decomposed with the help of atmospheric oxygen.

Answer 3:

(A) Oxygen

Cellular respiration is a collection of metabolic reactions and processes that take a position in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and then release waste products. The reactions involved in respiration are metabolic reactions, which separates large molecules into smaller ones, liberating energy in the process, as weak so-called "high-energy" bonds are substituted by stronger bonds in the products.

Answer 4:

(B) acetyl CoA

In chemistry, especially in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain, which is both saturated or unsaturated. Most commonly occurring fatty acids have an un-branched series of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28. Fatty acids are normally not found per se in organisms, but rather as three main classes of esters: triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol esters.

Answer 5:

(A) Deamination

Deamination is the elimination of an amine group from a molecule. Enzymes that catalyses this reaction are called deaminases. In the human body, deamination leads place essentially in the liver, however, glutamate is also deaminated in the kidneys.
