Document Summary

Quiz 3 thermodynamics & catalysis: which of the following reactions involves an increase in entropy (decrease in potential energy), condensation, hydrolysis, polymerization, formation of glycosidic bonds, formation of phosphodiester bonds. 2) which of the following is not true when comparing an uncatalyzed reaction to the same reaction with a catalyst: the catalyzed reaction will be faster, the catalyzed reaction will release a different amount of free energy, the catalyzed reaction will have lower activation energy, the catalyzed reaction will not consume any of the catalyst, all of the above statements are true. 3) activation energy (ea) : refers to the energy stored in chemical bonds, is reduced by enzyme catalysts, refers to the energy associated with the thermal motion of atoms and, refers to the fact that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only, is a barrier in endergonic reactions but not exergonic reactions. molecules within a living cell. transferred or transformed.
