Biomolecules and Cellular Metabolism Quiz

Carbohydrates are the primary energy source for cellular processes.

Proteins do not serve as energy storage in cells.

Carbohydrates have a general formula of (CH2O)n.

Sucrase catalyzes the conversion of sucrose into glucose and fructose.

Lipids do not participate in enzymatic catalysis in cellular metabolism.

Fermentation is the process of breaking down glucose in the absence of oxygen to produce energy.

ATP primarily functions to transfer energy within cells.

Glucose is converted into pyruvate during glycolysis.

Mitochondria produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
