Metabolic Reactions:
Metabolic pathways often require tens to hundreds of different enzymes. Each enzyme has a
specific substrate and produces a specific product. Enzymes work by _______ the energy of
activation for a given reaction. The molecule that fits into the active site of an enzyme and
reacts with the enzyme is called a _______-.

What molecule(s) link stage 1 of photosynthesis to stage 2 of photosynthesis?

Fill in the blanks:


The _____ is the ultimate source of energy for nearly every organism on this planet. Plants,
algae, and some bacteria perform _________ to convert solar energy into _______. Then, they
undergo ________ to produce ATP that can be used by the cell or stored for future use. Both
producers and consumers undergo cellular respiration.

Anabolic pathways require energy to synthesize larger molecules that the organism needs to
function. On the other hand, catabolic reactions break down complex molecules and release
energy. While heat is released in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration as a byproduct,
photosynthesis could be considered a/n ________ reaction and cellular respiration is a/n
________ reaction.
