Weekly Test 01 - ATP and Enzymes

This document contains questions about ATP, enzymes, and cellular respiration. It begins by asking what ATP is, how much energy is released by hydrolysis of ATP, and features that allow ATP to act as the universal energy currency. It then discusses phosphorylation and methods it occurs in cellular respiration. Next it addresses how ATP's chemical energy can be converted to light and heat, and organisms' uses of those energy forms. The document goes on to define enzymes and their active sites, specificity, activation energy, and ability to lower free energy of reactions. It concludes asking about induced fit mechanisms of enzyme reactions, importance of tight substrate-enzyme fits, cofactors, and differences between coenzymes and regular enzymes.
